hi all!
I was thinking about FT construction rules for bases -- either fully
fabricated or constructed out of asteroids (kinda from my Starfire
experience). these would be installations to guard worlds, important
facilities, strategic points.
since they would need only station-keeping drives, bases should be able
to
use a larger percentage of their total space to weapons/defenses, say
75%.
so their advantages are more weapons, but no maneuver versus a mobile
ship.
then there is the bases smaller cousin -- a weapons platform. maybe 1
space
is devoted to station-keeping drives, but the overall size is limited
before
it drifts into a small base category. no idea yet what this limit
might
be.
anyway, this is off-the-cuff. any ideas out there?
