I admit I don't like this. Still it's their game. I'd prefer my opponents to use the right dials at least--I've only had one game where I proxied a dial (My MW hasn't arrived yet) and I picked up my opponent's dial three times.
Have you played any mirror-faction matches? All the same colour of dials have never been a problem personally. Just place them closer to you than your opponent nearby the ship. Failing that, place them on the ship card, plenty of people do that and it keeps some space free on the table.
If anything, this ruling's going to cost me more money. I wasn't going to buy any Rebel Z-95s just now, or another Hwk, a third Y-Wing or a second Firespray, now I'm seriously considering them.
