Defense Bases

[oleg]

Yes, and I still do not understand why MM made this change ?? - nobody asked for it for God sake !!!!!

In case somebody is missing what we are talking about - many, many patches ago it was possible to deploy satellites around planet in different Groups, providing some kind of planetary defence. But at some moment they start to bungle up in one place - usually on the opposite side of the planet you want them to be.

[Atrocities]

Weapon Platforms, Satellites, Fighters, and Mines work well in combination with one or more defense bases.

The problem is, you have to have a ton of satellites to do any good against an advanced fleet of ships even if they are fleeted with only a couple of other ships.

PPB are your friend in this area. PDC are also great for taking out any missles and Drones. But typically you will want long range weapons with power on your side. Fighters are always excellent defensive tools. A fleet of 30 ships attacks your planet, and you have 200 fighters stationed there, well, lets just say that fleet is going to pay for every sector it takes.
