Summary0016870: Per-planet Defense Drones
DescriptionMobile ships with a per-planet cap that can't use wormholes. No attrition.

For dealing with annoying sniper-immune ships wandering around. Like Zombards.

Probably built from something that's either per-planet itself, or able to move between planets.

Mobile turrets? Nice.

The fortresses are mobile but this is mostly for relocation purpose. However I discovered they can track targets with FRD, but while they have a very long range and are slow, I don't see benefit from that.

Immobile Neinzul enclaves like the enclave GPost would achieve the same goal: remote tracking of targets that are sniper immune and have radar dampening. Maybe just leaving high-end enclave starships on planets to defend would achieve the same goal.

All that said, non-attritionning per-planet mobile turrets would be very fun.
