Also on the AT ships should be allowed due to OP and having to have them and the people claiming they didnt matter so much and werent needed, let me quote that reddit ama for you:
Not much here simple mirror but we had the malice advantage so we won.
Removing AT ships entirely from the the meta would be a very boring step both for the most serious teams as well as the spectators in my opinion. In the end I think the move to 1 unique per team was a very good one in the interest of levelling the playing field for newer and middle ground competititors (there is legit some hideous stuff you can do with multiple AT ships in 1 team that isn't a realistic possibility for most smaller alliances).
if you are super serious about the AT (like tuskers are) its not impossible for a smaller group to get hold of 2-3 uniques that you think will best support your setups - You don't need to multiples of every single AT ship, if you can't work out which ones benefit your setups the most you probably aren't gonna get very far in the tournament anyway.
Also something to consider, is that many AT ships this time around died vs comps that weren't fielding them (NC's cambion, our Adrestia, numerous Etanas). Uniques don't instantly result in a crushing victory for the team that fields them, and you can still be outpicked or outflown and lose.
On a final note with the exception of a few early round matches I'm fairly sure most teams that lost vs unique comps, also had uniques themselves which they chose not to field for x reason.
tl:dr 1 unique per team is good for the meta and the viewers.
