For the last time: Forced Sortie does not affect Ranking Tournament points. This is confirmed in-game. Go look at the next time you select your fuel, at the bottom of the screen. Your Ranking Points are 1x for 1 fuel, 2x for 2 fuel, and 3x for 3 fuel.

The reason people wait until Forced Sortie is active is because it lets you spend fuel in a faster amount of time, which pushes you even further. Because the top players are willing to spend as much money as they have on the game, Forced Sortie allows them to throw it all. But it does not affect your Ranking Points any more than individual selection.
