Space Stations--Pros/Cons

[jars_u]

I don't think weapons ranges for a fixed platform, space station, should be any longer then a ship. In space I don't really think such considerations would come into play as much as they do in an atmospheric enviornment. But, having bigger or different weapons that can only be placed on space stations I think would be a good idea. Allowing them greater firing range would offset their inability to move, but I still think there should be some limited movement allowed at least around a planet, not so much forward and back, as in changing the orbit of the stations so that it is between the planet and the attacking fleet - so just a circular movement kind of thing.
