Ok, thanks guys for this very useful discussion.

In defending a planet then I would be best to build large numbers of small armour and shield WPs with a moderate number of large weapon WPs with some of their own shielding? This would allow for the random damage to hit the larger number of small shield platforms more often than the weapon ones and give the weapon ones a little more survivablity? Or does one just build large mixed ones?
