I agree that it is not such a big deal, but I want to point out that if indeed you loose 3/4 EMPTY CELLS, you loss 15x3 points for the SUPER CELLS you cannot acquire and 6 points for scored EMPTY CELLS

I refer you to G14 (my bolding to emphasize)
Quote:
<G14> CELL Count Modification – If the assigned ALLIANCE score for the last non-surrogate
MATCH played by the TEAM was more than twice (2x) the opposing ALLIANCE score, then
one EMPTY CELL or SUPER CELL will be withheld from the initial set of GAME PIECES
made available to the PAYLOAD SPECIALIST for the TEAM. If the assigned ALLIANCE
score for the last non-surrogate MATCH played by the TEAM was more than triple (3x) the
opposing ALLIANCE score, then a second EMPTY CELL or SUPER CELL will be withheld
from the initial set of GAME PIECES made available to the PAYLOAD SPECIALIST for the
TEAM.

You cannot possibly lose 3/4 of the empty cells due to the fact that each team can only lose two of its cells. This is a big deal if your team's payload specialist is in a fueling station because your opportunity for super cells is lost. However, if your team's payload specialist is in the outpost position, he or she will always have at least two empty cells at his or her disposal. Also, I remind you that in discussing what the opportunity cost is for losing an empty cell, it is the 15 possible points from the super cell acquisition and score, not those 15 plus 2 for the empty cell possibility because once an empty cell is exchanged, its two points will never be scored.
