Planetary Defense Grids

[jammi]

Why not small satilites dotted around the upper/lower atmoshpere with turrets on them, heavy station turrets perhaps. That way it would be like a network of satilites defending a planet, which is more likely then huge defence stations all over the surface (which in Liberties capitalist mind-set would use up good land that could be better used earning money)

Plus satilites would act as weapon platforms, so they would still be destructable. Similarly like weapon platforms they would re-appear when there are no players around or when the server crashes/shuts down, so seiging a planet would still be possible, just you would have to send in the fast fighter/bombers to take the turrets out before heavy support could move in.

(The idea of taking out the turrets first just made me think of objective based games:

Ok pilot, take out the defence wings, once you've cut through the enemy fighters take out the heavy gun platforms- keep your distance from the fighter platforms. *boom* You got the heavies? Good, heavy support will move in and take out the fighter turrets. *boom* Victory!:P)
