Planetary Defense Upgrades

[Aenivae_Ikeda]

You know how if you have a turbolaser battery on a planet that it will destroy a ship of the bombarding fleet sometimes? Well I just thought that it would be neat if you could fire at enemy ships using the turbolaser battery during a battle, of course it would have like a recharge rate like the deathstar, but I just thought that then it would be serving more purpose

My biggest beef with them is that they only fire if fired upon...it doesn't matter if a fleet is in orbit and initiates a planetary assault. Oh, no! Can't fire upon them then.

 

Having the capability to fire them in battle would be awesome, too. I'd like to see the inclusion of Defense Platforms (golans, etc.) in that manner as well. (I know we've got cards and models for them already, but I'd classify them more as planetary defenses than capital ships)

Stupid game designers that didn't think of this... It just as stupid as not being able to use fighters in ground assaults.

Wouldn't it be cool though? Being able to use planetary defenses in battle. I mean obviously the defending side has to have some kind of advantage, otherwise the two fleets may as well just be fighting in some random are of space with nothing in it

It would be cool...but...

Nice to see, and would be good. However i guess i just have to put up with the Golan III & the XQ2's for the time being

[Darth-Griffin]

Besides once they are locked in position with the Battlestations hack it can be quite fun

[Texas_Fett]

I agree! I love havin' 'em in the game! And despite the fact that I know their strengths, they're quite imposing when encountered.

turbolaser batteries do actually fire when your planet is assaulted by the enemy. but, instead of firing on the ships in orbit, they fire on the troop regiments that are trying to take control.
