Planetary defences

I feel that the defences are too weak. If this is to work you need to either reduce the cost of defences to 3 Million per upgrade( reimbursing those who have spent the cash already) instead of 30 million or make them 10x as effective.
My MS after a little work is quite capable of taking on virtually any planet by my planets are vunerable even to the weakest of attacks. I now have 200 Defences on my planet at a cost of 6 Billion and I reckon I will need 30 billion to even give it even credible defence.
I hate to say it but this is a recipe for the strong getting even stronger whilst the weak waste cash trying to defend what little they have against a MS with 2,500 Fleets 2,500 Shield and attack which seems the minimum for a half decent MS these days.
Please Admin let us defend what we have and not let someone effectively take 6 Billion in cash from weaker players

yes indeed it is way to easy to bring up your fleets attack but way too hard to bring up the defense something needs to be done about this cos planets are going to be stolen and then they will just be taken back its stupid ya know. and btw change your avatar its too big

yer very bad move and i was stoopid enuf too spend around 100bil
on the planets defences only too realise afterwards that ther has been a misstake in the calculations and the fleet cost agianst the defence of the planet cost is bugged
lost all the planets and now nobody will be putting defences on planets at all
realy bad move and hope theres some compensation for guys who lost all the naq on defences (including the guys i took from )
as its imposible too defend ya planet atm

Quick calculation for you guys the breakeven point for defences vs attack fleets is 2192
Up until this number is is chaeper to buy weapons than to defend after this point cheaper to defend vs attack
The actual breakeven point where the cash you spend attacking is greater than the cash you spend defending is double that at around 4200
In other words I need 126,000,000,000 Naq
This is definately a game update that favours the strong!!

I doubt most of the strong can afford to do this to 10planets.
I totally agree though we need some type of foothold on our planets or there will be no point in upgrading them.

Get rid of your avatar blackadder it's shoving all the tesxt to one side... It's annoying. (Plus i think it's too big, admins might remove it for you)

the idea is that the fleet is incresingly hard to add hangers, so is limited in a sense. and cost of fleet is fllet+hanger; planet is just def (plus size upgrade).
well it looked good on paper
but, since you have 10 planets; 1 fleet... you got you 10x the power of defensive structures .... now 3M per.

Do you mean it now costs 3mil/ def instead of 20mil?

Does that mean that those who paid 30 Million per defence get cash back on their investment or will we get 10x the weapon strength ( my preferred option).

Sorry me being dumb defence structures gave 300,000 defence. Now give 3,000,000 defence strength.
P.S. Can't happen soon enough!

Admin is probably in the process of administrating the patch.
