So at the moment I'm getting huge incs and lost my fleet and I dont want to have to build ships and then face the consenquences of a big old battle and loosing them when I sleep; I'd rather keep my roids but be able to fight against the evil Astropods who are coming to my place.
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you
customizable PDS.
PDS could have 2 settings; defend vs all [acting as "normal" PDS] or defend vs Pods [thus protecting roids, as roids = prizes]. If/when PDS whores came back into the game then if they defended vs all then they would suffer [heavier?] roid losses, but defending vs Astropods means they'd only have there fleets to go one on one with the attacker.
This would attract both defensive game play [in terms of protecting lovely roids] as well as offensive game play [with a greater empahsis on being able to take out more ships?]
Its just a rough idea, no idea how it would be implemented / what formulae would be used, but feel free to discuss
