[quote=Zamiel] Basic stations, such as the ISS would not be considered "platforms". It is up to you to define how large yours will be, but it is not a stretch to say that a few hundred being can be housed comfortably, and be a heavily armed fortress or whatever else. Orbital construction introduces the equipment needed to build large structures such as ships directly up in space on orbital platforms ie. shipyards. [/quote] That's what I thought. Will there be defense bonuses? Such as each defense station in the vicinity of a friendly fleet both increases Fleet Strength, and gives them less losses and more losses dealt?
