When it comes to working defenses for star systems in 4X games, they are few and far between. I am thinking about creating mine fields in space (like asteroid fields), which react to the enemy trying to pass through by moving towards him and detonating. That may need less research than production capacity though, and probably some depletion/renewal mechancis when it damages/destroys ships and thereby itself.

Hmm. Perhaps a system defense purchase that does -30% hp on enemy ships in star system could accomplish what your looking for? Currently there are ones to increase hp on your own ships, seems like a good idea to have at least one that does the reverse for say -10 dust maintenance.

You are right, it should be a system purchase; maybe one from the weapon tree (in iterations following the missiles), and be given a weapon strength analogue to the missiles to determine effect.
