I suggest an orbital defense station. I know a number of different factions used them, including some wealthy pirates. They were mainly used to defend planetary systems however sometimes used in other areas such as trade routes. Perhaps it could take the place of the gravity well generator or long range scanner for a faction. Maybe the CIS could use them as there is mention of both the Trade Federation and the Banking Clan employing large well-armed satellites to defend trade routes and controlled planets.
I think there would be some limitations in that I believe you could only have one additional defense station accompanying your main space station because it would take the place of either the scanner or the gravity well. Never the less I think it is possible to change the name of the gravity well, take away it's abilities, change the model/skin and give it hard points and armaments. That of course is a dumbed down version of the trouble the mod-team would have to go through in order to do such a thing. I personally feel like with the increase in space pop cap that the normal space station is rather weak and the "Orbital Defense Station" would go a long way in helping stave off those Rebel/Republic/Vong invaders.
This is a suggestion for all factions in general however I have to look out for my fellow confederates so here's a
canonizing link! Your support and feedback, are as always, very welcome. Also, I realize I have no idea how to make my suggestion work on a technical level so if this would be far too complex and time consuming remember it's just a suggestion and I do not mean to cause the mod-team any extra stress!
