Re: Planetary defense measures.
Personally, I'd have said that the best defence is a superior fleet: any fixed defence can be beaten, even by the AI - and a Human player, well, all sorts of ways!
We're talking about the un-modded game, yes? In (for example) Proportions, you can put up some stunningly effective defence, although it can still be defeated - sometimes it can result in a 'siege' though as you batter your way beyond the shields, particularly on Homeworlds, in order to do some real damage. If the defence includes any reasonable number of PDC it can take a LOT of missiles!
In the end, though, the superior fleet is going to win - all defences can buy you is /time/. In the un-modded game, generally not a lot of it!
My opinion only - YMMV.
