Still though, I think the space defense platforms should be fixed in general.... they're useless, unlike their ground based counterparts.

Turns out my complaints about the orbital defense stations (i.e. lasers and missile launchers) are also a problem in the main game. They are utterly useless now. There is something wrong when it costs as much as a frigate but can be easily destroyed by a corvette from a distance without returning a single shot.

If I buy a Victory II SD, I get a Victory I for the same price - great way to quickly build up a fleet lol
Ship repair station is way overpriced - since it can't repair hardpoints that are gone, it's really only useful for patching up corvettes, but yet it costs more than 4 brand new ones.
Defensive stations are also too overpriced/useless - they cost as much as a VSD, but cannot move, cannot be repaired, and their range is inexplicably bad. Every ship in the NR fleet can destroy both the laser cannon and missile launcher before they fire a shot..... so why do they cost so much? Since there are so many stations placed around the base, it makes it look like these could be a key part of your defense/strategy, but they're completely useless.
