Planetary Defense

General Behaviour

• Ships that are currently stationed in orbit of the planet are recognized by the planetary defense manager if...
  • they have set the FC to "lfm"
  • they are equipped with torpedo tubes
  • they are damaged
• The planetary defense manager will add their resource demand to the planetary resource balance, thus allocating corresponding resources to build fighters and torpedoes or to repair damage with supplies.

Options (default: off)

• build starbase (SB): Marks the planet as construction site, thus as potential mission destination for Orbital Development Builders.
• fortify: Marks the planet as high priority planet.
  • collectors will collect minerals from planet regardless if there is a starbase present. 100 of each building mineral will be retained.
  • if starbase is present, employ the Production Manager to request minerals and megacredits to maximize starbase defense (posts, fighters, beam tech), also request to maximize colonist population for maximum planetary defense
  • employ the Production Manager to maximize planetary defense (apply default planetary defense setting for forts)
