' Wrote:I don't think it's the number of weapons that needs to be increased, I think it's the effectiveness of the weapons currently in place. I mean right now, planetary gunners suck at aiming, and their weapons are slow. They do pack a punch though.
Make planetary defense weapons (fired from docking rings) much faster and refire faster. Maybe add two weapons platforms flanking them for major and capital planets, with the same sort of loadout. And increase the range on them.
I like this idea. We all agree that there need to be more platforms. I mean, why are there guard systems that are more fortified than a planet? Also, jump gates - they take years and millions of credits to build, why are they so poorly defended? They could also use some more power.
