Basically, the idea is that you could build planetary defences that would give buffs and debuffs as well as fire support to fleets in that system during battle. They would have no smiley: commandpoints cost so they could be great static defences. To balance them out one could use a Covert Ops system to sabotage system improvements and defences. This could act to destablize the enemy from within.



The types of Planetary Defences would be:



  • Orbital Beam Cannon

    -Provides beam support in battle



    Orbital Missile Launcher

    -Provides missle support in battle



    Shield Base

    -Reduces damage taken



    Jamming Station

    -Reduces enemy accuracy



    Attack Drone Base

    -Produces attack drones that use kinetics to attack the enemy







Espionage would include:



  • Sabotage

    -Destroy system improvements



    Assassination

    -Injure an enemy hero



    Bribery

    -Reduce smiley: fids in the system



    Spying

    -Allows you to see enemy activity in that system






All of this would require research and Espionage would require smiley: dust.



Let me know if you think only one of these ideas should be implimented
