Why do it the simple way when you can make something massively overengineered and charge ridiculous amounts of money for it? It’s the military-industrial complex way. ;-)

Indeed it's also more fun and considering the price of a new ship vs. a good defensive system, it's having a clear advantage ;)

However, I also intend to make a NPC version of it. More fun and more things to sell :twisted:

That reminded me of all those war ministries rapidly becoming 'ministry of defence' after WWII...

I'm kind of expecting a 'Great Defence', followed by WDII after 20 years or so. I wonder when that's going to happen...

edit: better now, I found that ni hiding next to the keyboard...

I’d say something here about preemptive invasions, but this ain’t an Outworld thread. *cough*
