Hmm, here's an idea for a mod (P&N maybe - SJ seems to love these sort of tweaks

)... a 10 kT "MicroPlat" which requires no command center and only has room for an armor or combat sensors... that way you could armor your weapons platforms since the MicroPlat would have the fewest hitpoints (unless you modded in obscenely tough armor) it would be destroyed first!
(Odd, I thought WP's were destroyed in the order they were deployed, or maybe the reverse of that order... or was I thinking of satellites?

)
