Yes, I agree blitz has to be promoted somehow.
As I mentioned in another post, I was thinking it might be nice if they could make an option for crew to remain in blitz similar to neutral sailors that could only level up to a certain extent. So fans of blitz don't always need to train a new crew everytime they go beyond level 60.
And reading about the posts on here for new players to actually have something to shoot at I wonder if there was any chance nf could put an option for a number of dummy DD/FF ships to be added to each team in battle. While it's true they could just battle dummy ships in mission rooms, they don't get xp there or anything. So like, blitz with dummy ships to support each team, and then xp, creds and points for reward.
