Title: Colony defense
Post by: Alaster on November 07, 2013, 07:06:45 AM
I would like to have more defense opportunities, because turrets doesn’t seems to be a good idea to protect the people. They are very fragile. A good idea would be some sort of energy shield for example. It could have a lot of energy costs, but able to withstand a quite beating. Buildable maybe as a turret platform or it could be inside of a building.

I agree that there should be more defense options than just the turret.

I would like more upgrade options for the turret.
Implies a deeper research tree...........

Shield generators might be a bit too sci-fi.
It's still a colony. Not some magical high-tech base. ;)

But in general - I totally agree that we need more stuff to defend. Even simple spring traps / holes could do the job.
