[TC] orbital weapons platform?

[bringwind]

Where do I buy them?

Off the top of my head I don't think you can. You'll need to rely on ships to defend your stations, or on Lasertowers.

They are worthless OOS. Even the Large one get destroyed if it get a Q attacking it. I scripted some mounted with IBLs and all get destroyed for a Q or bigger.

For my point of view, a Large Weapons Platform must be something huge and hard to take out. Something that needs about 2 or 3 M2 to defeat. Need to be some real threat and not target praticing for Xenon...

Confirming that you can't buy them: No, you can't buy them.

[Gold Dragon]

Actually, you can buy them, but only if you don't mind the Modified tag.

I know of two that can give you some.

[WhiteStar1]

I'm interested too. We should have weapons platforms.

When I first saw them,I thought they had replaced Laser Towers.

Would have been good if they had.

Due to them not being able to move, they will pretty much always get attacked first before being able to fire back. With vanilla OOS, most larger ships will kill them first due to the crazy dmg multipliers (a Q will sometimes do 10GJ of damage OOS in it's first strike).

I might be worth checking on how the platforms fare with Gazz's OOS rebalance.
