I agree. Something should be changed to make them more useful on the longterm.

or we make lasers hit figs as well. so they are more worth having even if they take up space as building. Or we remove that too, not sure how I think on that atm

Perhaps you could make lasers benefit from military science!

Revs along with custom bankers choosing TOs in their race should be able to upgrade their lasorz to imbatowers or teslacoils or something... anything significaly stronger than todays laser. This upgraded UNIT (not building, cause of insane OB prices) could be able to hit both figs, bombers and trannys

Also, if this is implemented, a PI shouldnt tell exactly how many of the different cannons protecting the planets. Building a proper lasertrap today requires immense amounts of cash and ressis to build.

- Lasers ruin OB %  - 
They should be regarded the same as portals - present when building, but invisible when complete.  - same ob rules apply to building them.

change lasers to orbital lasers
then u can implement the idea from elro aswell that they can hit fighters since they remain in space to kill of the defending army then the bombers and transports come into action!

this would also logicaly remove the need for being present at the planet!
win win win.

So we gonna start naming new changes to their inventors?

mans a genius

lasers not towers can only build towers on land, and our planetairy system doesnt have a moon so u cant build there either, so id prolly be satalites if your a evolved 50% rc race. else your stil using intergalactic pigeons with bibiguns to get rid of enemy bombers!

and yes i <3 orbit but he knows that.

big object r more likely to get hit by astroids and space rubble, no way they would do build such big things in there, were talking about planetaty bombers here, bombers who kill all living things on earth if they win the planet. all humans cats and dogs even children murdered! so u should think those lasers we got now should be pritty big bad ass lasers to be able to shoot down those damn big bombers and incomming troops, their lives depends on it. destroy one platform and u lose all capability to defend yourself.

if we would have a space dock to build/repair ships etc it stil be on a moon cuz there u got natural resources aswell u could use.  cant possible sustain the oil requirements to keep shooting out hundreds of thousends of fighters bomber and transport ships in space with the earth asmospher the moon is far better less resistance etc.

but we dont have a moon so i guess their using a sort of stargate tehcnology to portal their troops into space.

no, all these reasons why orbital platforms dont make sence!

only for peops with -30% attack in their race, peops with 50% attack r stuck with the lasers their less fast so cant defend all space territory as effectivly as those drones ;p
give bankers some way to defend themselves against big bad attackers!
