Re: Re: Bases

I was Playing with a few space base ideas and looking at attack modes
and counters.  It seems nova cannon, missiles, fighters; long ranged
beams are effective against bases while a base must have a mix of close
in or stand off weapons.  The Grasser has some potential as a stand off
weapon as do beam 5 and 6 while nova cannon are more effective in a
support ship.  The use of in system (non Ftl escorts) makes some sense
in such scenarios but you would normally think of small police custom
boats not monitors. What is your Idea...
