I am feeling a little frustrated. I spend a lot of time maxing out star-base tech defense, to protect my important bases (well, err uhmm, they are all important), but there appears to be no defense adequate for holding off even a light-weight enemy warship. Is there a way to have a fleet in orbit around a base (just like a planet)? If I am doing something wrong, either tactically, or technically, I would appreciate your comments. I tried putting a ship in orbit around a space station but it just came back as "stacked". All I do now is park a fleet of my strongest fighters in close proximity, but I can't always keep them there. Those stations are always the first to go in an attack.
Cheers,
