You could, but they get expensive.  If I'm spending
that kind of money, I prefer System Defense Monitors. 
34 armor boxes.  Not fun.  Will take forever to die.

Not always true!  Combat in a system is based around
securing planets.  So you have to come to ME.  Which
means my Planetary Defense Wings will have plenty of
range.	Gotta remember, sea/space/air combat is not an
end to itself.
