Default Re: Weapon Platforms

I put weapon platforms on every non-major system that isn't currently building something until I've maxed their cargo capacity. Major systems tend to have plenty of ships around them and are too busy to build platforms anyway.

As for designs:

1) All capital missiles
2) 1 PD, meson bLasters
3) Massive Shield Depleter (if I have the tech, rare in v 0.56)

As for targetting different ships, yes you can do it but with dozens of platforms it becomes too tedious to be useful. Also, planets can track multiple targets as I've had my meson bLasters (25 platforms with 4 each) rip apart a cruiser and then clicked on another ship and they fired the remaining weapons at it.
