Systems Defence In New York - mst700 - 04-22-2009
I was wandering if anyone was looking into the Planetary defence grid for the planets in New York System? I read were the planets and stations are to be defended. I was thinking the station defence grid like the one on Livadia Shipyard would be perfect for Pittsburg and manhatten. Because it is the Home world of Liberty, Manhatten should have a very strong defence grid. I was thinking that there should be a missile plateform on each Trade lane nearest to the planets. 4 Missile plateforms around newark station ( 1 on top and 1 on bottom), and 2 near trent station, and 2 next to the planetary Gate, and last but not least 6 more spread around the main area 3K from the Manhatten docking ring. Planet Pittsburg and other stations should get the 6 missile defence plateforms. I make this recommendations based of the amount of upheaval in new York. There isn't another system that has this much out-law traffic. If you need anymore information, please ask.

A tad bit overkill? Also, weapon platforms can do squat, you just plant a SNAC or a torpedo to shut them up for a bit. I think this may slightly increase lag in the system too.
While I am for a bit of extra defence, I'd put it at Texas, because you know, the Rheinland is going to come a knocking.

Should be overkill. It is the Liberty throne world after all.
All home planet should be overkill.
When I see a xeno wandering within manhattan airspace I really, really ask myself questions.

' Wrote:Should be overkill. It is the Liberty throne world after all.True, but there needs to be a bit of balance for RP fun for both sides. But stay the damn away from the planet AND the Bush Mann trade lane. :nono:

I find more pirate/rogue/hacker gunships in that trade lane than I can find Nomads in Omicron Iota.

I'm sure that can be fixed with a planetary beam canon with a range of 100k.
juuust a joke.

A weapons platform that has two weapons.
Both are capable of destroying any bomber or vhf.
Almost an instant travel speed.

Why only tipped? Make it a bloody nuke:P
But yeh, that would probably be a nice description. Why can it not be on battleships? Because it requires more power than a sun/battleships power supply.

I throw my support to the gigantor Liberty beam cannon.

Also the West Point to Manhattan lane. Don't know why every pirate wants to pirate within eye sight of a capital planet..... It's OORP in my opinion.
