Level 4 Shipyard model?

[CNKommander]

I have been hearing discussion of a Level 4 shipyard for ICW. Does the team have an idea of the model the shipyard might use?

I hope there's going to be a Level 4 Shipyard Model. The regular 1-3 Shipyard Level Models are basic and okay, but I wonder if this Level 4 Shipyard will have hard points and defenses like Turbolasers and Ion Cannons. It could be like a "Golan 0.5 Defense Platform!" I always liked that the Shipyards in EAW and FOC had hard points with weapons and you could make them attack independently. I hope this is implemented, or a different idea with the same concept at least.

There will be a level four shipyard in the future, but no, we don't know what we'll use for the design yet. They will not be armed, since they are shipyards, not space stations, and there's a plethora of other armed defense station options.

Will you ever incorporate the Golan VII Defense Stations from the Legacy Era in the future? But only to safeguard very important planets like Bastion, Coruscant, mainly very important planets? I'd love to see those! Although they would probably only be used in Era 5 due to it being the end of the Imperial Civil War and such.

Never heard of a "Golan VII", though Golan VIIIs were used in the Second Imperial Civil War. Which is way out of the mods scope.
Golan IIIs are all we're gonna have, and that's just fine.

I'd like to see the rebel platform from X-Wing Alliance used in some capacity though. I just like that design.

I think that you're reffering to the Empress-class space station.  It had the 3 wedges coming off the center like spokes on a wheel, right?  I've been rereading the X-Wing series lately, and am pretty sure I saw it referenced as an Empress.

Nah, it was literally called "Rebel Platform" ingame.
This.

I meant to say Golan VIII, I must've not put in enough Roman Numerals, but anyways, the Golan VIII were mini battle stations that were equipped with Hyperdrives so they could be mobile and jump into a very important planet's region if needed. I think they were primarily used to safeguard places like Mon Calamari and Kuat, etc. Just very important and Top priority planets.

A mobile gun battery kinda reminds me of the huge gun batteries that France used in the Crimea war against Russia

Huh... has a good ring to it, I can see it now "The Golan VIII Mobile Gun Battery Defense Station"!
  My first idea of what this would like in Space is like a giant moving Battle station that looks like its about to ram into everything! XD
  My second Idea is that it can't be moved but it could call in reinforcements into battle (for a fee of course, like 2000 credits or something) But it'd Hyperspace in like a mini battle group like 2 capital ships and 3 support ships and 2 Anti-Fighter Ships. A second option would have to be 5000 credits and you'd have a full battle group of 5 capital ships, 7 support ships and 5 Anti-Fighter Ships. And it'd be like a 1 time purchase and the battle group would hyperspace in after the Golan VIII!

  Phew, there I go rambling on again, I'm glad I got that out. Anyways, I just think the Golan VIII is pretty cool. I don't expect to see it in game or ever at all, so this ends my idea of the Golan VIII Defense Station.

[Eldritch66X]

I mentioned an idea like that a while back.
I’d prefer something like a sector task force that guards the planet and depending on the other planets importance a small but effective task force would be deployed to defend.
Nothing to big at the most  1 capital ship and a few escorts
