You can also make some buildings spawn drones if the fixed weapons are troublesome....also buildings that build more buildings ;)

Funny you should say that, earlier iterations had one or two small point defense weapons on just about every building. Problem with that was that they became highly prone to shooting the asteroids they were attached to to pieces whenever something vaguely hostile passed by, and also that it was just flat out a pain to play against. There are still dedicated defensive buildings in the lineup, though it may take a little while to encounter them if rng acts up.

i wish the buildings had weapons

Sounds fun but hard to play.

pretty cool, gonna see how it fares against the phoenix
