Is there anything apart from the command shield guard post that provides invincibility to a command station? I can't find anything on this planet that is providing cover. If it's a real issue, I'll mantis this straight away, but I've missed things like this before...

(It's Ropuqu in the save by the by).

Counterattack Guard Posts.  That was a request from players so that it would be much harder to accidentally trigger a counterattack wave.

LotS campaign setup: I was saying that it's grindy after few cities - but that was attributed to different factors then. I'm also not to keen to try next LotS game from similar reasons. The grind price of being powerful is a successful stopper of fun ;) I'm not exactly playing right now so didn't test how LotS is after all the balance changes tho.
So weird to me, I didn't feel like I was grinding, ah well.  I think it's because I knew more-or-less-exactly what was going to happen and that I was wading through tons of AI assaults _now_ but I won't have to do it _later_.  Anyway, sorry I didn't realize this is what y'all were saying earlier, hopefully the feature will still be received well in the official release.  We'll see what we can improve after 5.0 settles out (giving it a week or two to handle any surprise bugs that pop up when the user base expands) :)
