Just had a thought about the new Military and Logistics command stations. Technically this should be in the 3.178 thread but I figure this thread's replaced that one.
It struck me as the FF should be on the Military outpost rather then the Logistics outpost.
My reasoning is that a military outpost is one you build in either a partially cleared system or a border system that's in danger. You have to build additional defenses around the command post anyway, (unless you gave it an ion cannon level weapon which would be OP), so the gun on the current military station doesn't matter really. However, if the mmilitary station came with a built in FF, all of a sudden it's worth building in a system with hostile ships still flying around in. The FF would have to weaker then the actual Mk I FF structure, but for me, this would make the military command worth building because it's actually worth it, as opposed to the current situation where the pop-gun it has makes it always better to build an economic station. Normal attack power reduction would apply to this force field IMO.
No real thoughts on the logistics station yet. It's pretty much a late game station you use to move your fleet around faster and I haven't reached that point in my test game yet.
