Spacedock

I was wondering, what is the Spacedock going to be like? Just asking beforehand so I know if its viable as a base defence or if a Fleet of Ships would be a better shield.

well obviously a fleet of ships will be a better defence simply cos they are mobile. also you dont win games with a station (unless its the sabo ).

I meant for a defense when attacking the enemy, as in build a modest fleet to attack with and use a Spacedock for defense or build a massive fleet and attack with some while others protect the base.

well like i said a fleet of ships is mobile, so unless you place this spacedock at a bottleneck and there is no other way into the area surrounding you base, it would be useless since it wont protect anything outside its own weapon range.

Although Spacedocks would be useful for faroff mining bases where ships couldn't get to very fast because their likely too be much more powerful than a large turret wall and could likely reach the entire outpost (if its only around 2 moons).

Wouldn't you rather wait and see? If the team have said the Spacedock will be in the next version, I'd just wait until it's released, and play the game to find out for myself. ;-)
Tuh, some people just want to be told everything :-P


Besides, I prefer walls of turrets and minefields as defences.

Only Curious. Besides I haven't asked about everything.
