[Declined] Defending Structures

[myke]

I have not played PA for a long time but I couldent help but wonder, how can a planet defend it self just by using ships. Why cant we build buildings that can help in defence, I dont see much of a problem. You can make the defence structure target all sorts of ships but have low defence and fire power but have high initative to attack them,that way the game wont be imbalanced.

Comments?Suggestions?What do you guys think?

people would then build more structure killers and things would get even nastier than they are now, loosing a lot of structures is worse than loosing ships. Also strucutures can't run away if its hopeless whereas ships can.

What if the defending structures could only attack ships that are 3 ticks(no more no less) away from attacking the planet but you would not know if the defending structures have destroyed any ships, until the combat report arrives, so if the attacking planet just sends a fake attack the defending structures will not fire, but you will not know until the combat report is shown.

what do you think?

myke it's just another form of PDS. There have been numerous threads on this, and Kal's right, it will just encourage bashing even moreso than now.

oh ok guess this isnt a good idea.

i miss the days when my structures didnt die personally

and i also miss roid scans, but tht may just be me :P

and also give the MoW some powers!!!!! like a damned galactic fleet tht ppl can donate ships to but only let it be used for in gal defence, but mayb tht wud not work as bigger gals cus have mahusive fleets n lil guys wud never get attacks thru

being the MoW is so boring atm

Don there are other threads on this forum about galatic fleets. Read them and post there about it
