The Occupation Planet's Defenses Are Too Weak

from Sins Forums

The Occupation planet is great. The only thing is the defenses.

The defenses are just too weak. After you get a huge fleet, you can jump in, and go all 'lalala' on the planet.

Also, the starbase is not upgraded. I was expecting a fully upgraded starbase. If the dev's could find a way to give the starbase upgrades without the occupation people actually playing, that would be great. I know that this may take a while to put in the code, but it is too easy to kill the starbase. If the dev's can't find a way for the starbase to spawn upgraded, then could they possibly make another starbase entity that was as good as an upgraded starbase?

BTW, I think the starbase should have ALL of the upgrades possible, not just 8. I mean, it's the occupation planet we're talking about. It's some ancient planet with relics of power that can assure supremacy. Surely they would want to defend it heavily, right? It's their super special artifact, right?

What do you think?

Also:

Why not max out the mines, too? And the tatical slots?

Hey just out of curiosity, wouldn't the TEC Rebel just be able to waltz right in and capture the planet because they can ally with rebels/neutral factions. I personally have not played an occupation victory yet...

In earlier versions the TEC Rebels couldn't take the Occupation planet until someone else had since their alliance with neutrals meant they couldn't bomb it away from the neutral holders.

Wow, that's worse than just having those particular neutrals against the TEC Rebel.

Why don't the dev's make a seprate SB entity that has all of the weapons enabled, and fully upgraded hull?

Fine the way it is IMO.  It's there as an ALTERNATE win condition, not the only one.  The defences are good enough to stop someone from rushing it too early, but not enough that you could have easily won the game normally a long time ago.

I think it should be harder to take - i havent played occupation vctory yet because i think the game would be too short but in the tec only i used to spawn a few different occupation planets around the map as a sort of uber pirate base that would slow down expansion but as stated above - even with a titan the fleet and the week starbase its not difficult to take

That's what I mean. It wouldn't kill for the defenses to be a little harder, right?

some stupid questions:
what is this planet? and where can i find it?
I have seen some planets with neutral factions on it, but never with Starbase.

EDIT:
