HmmmmGǪ..
I watched that exact event happen (in my team's favor, and in a later match, to the enemy team's favor), and I think it pretty much makes sense the way it is now.
GǪIn any match mode containing opposing MCCs, you'll see the two MCC's in constant missile-plugging match with each other. Though no one's ever tried it yetGǪ if BOTH sides agreed not to make a move against each other or against the NEUT null cannons (so they all stay neut-yellow), every match would play out automatically, with one of the MCC's blowing up FIRST from enemy MCC fire--and the other team getting an "auto" victory.
It feels as if our fight on the ground is really just the last extension of a battle that's been going on between Capsuleers' ships above the atmosphere and right down to the MCC's trying to push each other out of the airspace. Which, logically makes sense, and is the way you'd expect a battle for real estate to be like.
Don't think I'm dead-opposed to the way you feel, TheEnd. I cheer for the underdog too. ButGǪ
Underdogs keep trying---they're plucky, and that's why we love 'em, and want to give them an extra chance.
My matches last night were not just a loss due to the "auto" firing between MCC's. It was also because the "losing" team voluntarily discarded their fighting-spirit very early in the match, and decided to consider themselves the "losing team" before the match was even half through or before their side had even suffered any severely lopsided clone loss. 
With some simple cohesive grouping in an attack, or even a little effort to use the uplinks and support that was being deployed for them, they would not be "the losing team", and they had no justification to believe that they WERE the losers.
GǪThey just had no spirit to want to "try attacking again, but differently this time".
GǪ.And if a player doesn't bring that kind of spirit in a game about "attacking" and combat, then she doesn't deserve a free mechanism to allow an underdog comeback. 
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
