The Occupation planet is great. The only thing is the defenses.
The defenses are just too weak. After you get a huge fleet, you can jump in, and go all 'lalala' on the planet.
Also, the starbase is not upgraded. I was expecting a fully upgraded starbase. If the dev's could find a way to give the starbase upgrades without the occupation people actually playing, that would be great. I know that this may take a while to put in the code, but it is too easy to kill the starbase. If the dev's can't find a way for the starbase to spawn upgraded, then could they possibly make another starbase entity that was as good as an upgraded starbase?
BTW, I think the starbase should have ALL of the upgrades possible, not just 8. I mean, it's the occupation planet we're talking about. It's some ancient planet with relics of power that can assure supremacy. Surely they would want to defend it heavily, right? It's their super special artifact, right?
What do you think?
Also:
Why not max out the mines, too? And the tatical slots?
