New mod, looking for ideas

[mac5732]

Planet WP's should have larger shields, more and heavier armor and gun mounts with farther distance then ships.
Since they are planet bound, they wouldn't have the space limitations of ships. I know one of the other mods, (can't remember off hand who's) increase range of planet bound WP's so seekers couldn't just sit off and glaze a planet. This is one area that should be patched in SE4, planets should make you pay to take them out. Don't make your anti ftr PD's to weak or your ftrs will be to strong and take away from the game. Maybe look into anti-ftr seekers, short range, Ships costly ok, but it sounds like your making it into a ftr vs ftr mod. If you can't afford large ships, then your ftrs have no one to fight except other then ftrs the majority of the time. You need the ships, what you might want to do is keep cost down on say up to BC's, BB's, DN's, BS',
cost more long time to build but butt kickers. this way your fleets would have Task forces built around a few of the heavies

just some ideas mac
