<Hachon> POS' favor the defender. It also seems that anything within the sphere of it's shields is completely safe from attack. Do we "control" the defenses or are they on auto? and do the sentry guns have optimal ranges?
<@omgbbqove> Starbases heavily favor the defender and that's intentional. The fact that they are completely safe from attack is also intentional and part of what makes it heavily in favor for the defender.
<@omgbbqove> The starbase defense targeting code has been updated about 5 times since we started doing the turrets
<@omgbbqove> and it is getting rather advanced, but since it is computer controlled and not yet pilot controlled, there are bound to be loopholes
<@omgbbqove> so we're doing stresstesting on those and making all the defensive structures valuable and useful in their own fields
<@omgbbqove> making them all pilot controlled is something we'd like to do down the road but doing we want to do it so that it makes a difference
<@omgbbqove> oh - and yes, they do have optimal ranges ;D
