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 or torpedoes.

Options (default: off)

• build starbase (SB): Marks the planet as construction site, thus as potential mission destination for 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)
