Your WP defence: Mines, satellites or bases?

[StarShadow]

One tip for sat/WP defense, drop a shield killing storm over the WP and, depending on the size of the sats you have, stick ionic dispersers on (some/all of) your defense sats. Although unless your ships are armored it'd be best to keep them away. This works even better if your enemy uses cloaking devices, as he'll run out of supples fairly quickly. At that point, I'd recommend boarding and capturing as many as possible, send over a repair ship or three, load them into a pre-existing fleet (to give them some supplies), take them to a planet and either retrofit, or analyze them.
