Recently, I have been thinking of ways to incorporate the two divergent Starmada defense philosophies; screens and the K/E/B defenses, into one for use in my local playing milieu. We really like the screens and the ability (and necessity) to shift your passive defenses to cover threatened arcs, especially during a pell-mell fleet engagement. We also, however, like the research options and flavor options of having distinct weapon types such as kinetic and energy weapons; and having specific defenses designed to counter these threats. Does anyone have any ideas on combining the two?
