[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Would it really matter if the enemy slipped in, though, as long as the insystem targets themselves were protected? Like, by a Martian defense perimeter around Mars. We've seen in DS9 how assaults on a starbase or a planetary base require getting close and personal. There seems to be little danger of the enemy sitting between Mars and Earth and lobbing long-range torps in their way. Whatever comes within firing range of insystem targets also enters the firing range of planetary defenses. Like the Martian defense perimeter around Mars. As for the enemy mounting a siege or sniping at traffic between the planets and their compact defense perimeters... You need actively moving defenses to deal with those in any case, and there's little sense in forcing those mobile defenses to hang around in empty space between planets when not engaged in combat. Sure, a few sensor platforms sprinkled here and there are a good idea, but weapons platforms should be highly centralized. Like, into a Martian defense perimeter around Mars. You catch my drift? :) Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
