What about a new unique “resource” based concept? A new resource for example: ADF (Autonomous Defense Fleets) with which you can get ships for the home territory via Edict/event?

@parciwel, No, as doing so would require me to make a new ship size for every ship the game, not including any mods one may run (Like NSC3, which works by default). I'm pondering on other things to do with it to make it more worthwhile to use. although imo being able to have effectively "free" upkeep garrison ships is pretty nice if they are placed on the borders

Does this change the ships size (used fleet capacity)? As just having reduced upkeep doesn't seem like it is enough of an enticement.

good to know.

@greatswizard - While the stations are nice, ships equipped with the monitor drive are still ships and can move between systems, allowing for more flexibility in where you place your stations. Along with any relevant tech increases that you pick up for your more "Offensive" fleets.

The original purpose was to update the original mod to 4.0. I have some other ideas to make them more viable compared to the station changes. Primarily in giving buffs while in home territory.

I like the idea behind it. owever, considering the rework to defense and bigger starbases mods we have today, idk how usefull this mod is.
