Defence Stations
Would it be possible to be able to get the Small/Medium/Large defence stations as being purchasable/able to be built? Could be even more resources needed than an M2+, but it would be a good way to defend places without having to put down dozens of laser turrets.

Re: Defence Stations
Was just thinking this earlier. Having some variety to static defenses, beyond the good ol' lasertower ring of death, would be nice!

Re: Defence Stations
There are no defence "stations" in X3. Only ships can have guns, so technically the defence platforms are ships and you cant place (build) ships. It would require some hefty hack to allow placement of player defense structures.

Re: Defence Stations
That... makes sense, because I scanned one and found it had a Turbo Booster Mark 2...
I have no idea if it could work, and how hard it would be, but what about placing something like a laser tower, but instead it gets replaced by a defence platform? Or maybe create an expensive but more beefed up lasertower?

Re: Defence Stations
Would it possible to treat them as stations, ware-wise? So you could deploy them and pack them up with a TL? I'm not sure if such things are possible with the scripting system, but that's how I could imagine it being done.
These days I mainly just talk to plants and dogs,
all human contact seems painful, risky, odd,
so I stay acting god in my own X-Universe!

Re: Defence Stations
would it be easier to implement some form of ship with a "reverse docking" procedure for these M1?
The Aran and the Mobile Repair Ship can dock an M1/M2, but these ships would not be able to dock in because they can't move. But if a ship (perhaps a new class to limit the feature) could move on the defense platforms to dock them in, then it could move them around until launching them again.
