Default Re: Planetary defense measures.

Early on, anything goes with protecting individual planets. You are taking out individual ships. Once the mid-game comes, frankly, I think the best planetary defense is to never let their fleets get into your systems in the first place. Marauding Groups of ships can be stopped only by other Groups of ships.
