PDS with a twist
 

I'm not a fan of PDS as it is just like unmovable ships. But what if they had an extra feature :

- a planet PDS can fire ingal to defend the closest planets (with a penalty).
Let say planet 1:1:3 can give/receive PDS help from planets 1:1:2 and 1:1:4 at 50% efficiency.

In case of gal raid, PDS would defend own planet first. If no inc on own planet, PDS fire can be split in 2 to def planets above and below.

Unlikely corner case but exile in eta 0 and suddenly loads of PDS available?, not sure thats going to go down well

perhaps you could use the gal fund to build pds and they would be tied to the galaxy. something for the minister of Galaxy Fund(Development) to do and maybe Minister of War can set where they are located?

could help gals that have low race diversity by having different PDS types (emp/norm/cloak/steal)

I really like the idea but it would need to be thought of carefully because a lot of potential for abuse imo.

Me neither.
