There are quite a few times that I see a few pierat ships come in along with aliens, and absolutely obliterate a system's defences, and slowly wear down the system's stations until nothing is left. Also players can attack stations with impunity. I think that stations should pregenerate with a believable amount of weapons, enough to hold off all but the dedicated group, otherwise there wouldn't be a reason to build a station. I think perhaps a way to do this would be make stations possess weapons, and make them enough decent weapons to hold off at least 5 ships - plus they should scale with difficulty. Another thought, is that when the station comes under attack (if it's not an errant shot, need a way to not call in the armada for nothing), the station runs a script that basically checks for the threshold to be met of damage, broadcast a distress call, and a timer starts (somewhat random) that warps in a response fleet size related to the threat (equal or better omicron rating?), and with the faction's holdings (some one-system 'town' can't afford an armada...).

Can this be installed serverside only? Or does client need as well?
