Citadels - Tier 4 Defensive Stations

Description
Everyone knows how much defense stations suck without modding. And even if you get one of the really amazing station mods out there, the sheer power of endgame fleets utterly butcher most station flowers on hgiher difficulties. I'm taking maybe 10k fleet power in stations being against 100k or more.

So what stops your race from discovering bigger, better stations? What prevents them from creating essentially citadels in space? This mod fixes that problem by adding a Tier 4 station type: Citadels. These massive stations have 8 A slots, 45 L Utility slots, and for weapons have one of four choices, Superweapons, Large Weapons, Medium Weapons, Hangar, or Small Weapons. You can only have one Superweapon platform on a Citadel, but this should help out in endgame with the sheer power.

Being a direct upgrade of Fortresses, Citadels have 3 slots for different components. Quantum Destabilizer, FTL Inhibitor, and Shield Dampeners no longer have to be spread out in the flower!

Of course, there is a downside to the sheer power of this ship. With the amount of tech it will be sporting, it is looking at a massive price tag, not to mention horrendous upkeep. Can you handle more than a handful of these powerful stations? Can your economy support them? That, my friend, is the question...

Special thanks to Frog-in-a-Box who helped me and taught me the ins and outs of this mod, sticking through it with me until the end!

As usual, the art used is NOT my own. SPecial thanks to CCP Games, makers of Eve Online!

It's nice to have stronger starbases but the problem is that the starbase falls before the defence platform and the enemy gets free defense platforms .. this needs to be modified a bit so that they get focused before the starbase does. Maybe the placing so that the ships lock onto them first.

Could this still, possibly work with 1.9?

Oh, this mod was pretty much put into vanilla with the Citadel-class Starbases. It was made way back, before the 2.0 overhaul.

this thing really needs an update and I would like to have it for one run I plan on doing in the near future.
