Will the Providence class and Subjugator class ships be making it into the game?

But what are your border planets? In almost any scenario as the IR, you end up with all these holes in your territory. In Imperial Civil War, all but seven of your planets border enemies! Planets like Garos IV and Ord Mantell are all cut off from the Empire. You need something more efficient, or everybody will have larger fleets ready to grab your insufficiently defended systems.
The first thing to do is conquer lightly defended planets until your border worlds are few. The Pentastar Alignment and Empire of the Hand are in very good positions to do this, since the PA can have as few as three or four planets to defend by the third week.
What use are those 'light planetary defences' anyway? Say the PA sends both its star destroyers and an Immobilizer your way, which it can do fairly early on. For every single world it attacks, you lose the fleet and the thousands of credits you sunk into frigates and escort carriers. I never do any such thing as a 'light planetary defence.' It's wasteful. If any of my worlds can't defend itself from whatever the enemy can send, I don't defend it.
