Automated defenses?

I'm just wondering if there are any plans for stuff like sentry guns, auto turrets, landmines, sentry drones and so on to help defend planetside installations on dangerous worlds. If such things are going to be in the game, how would you guys like to see them implemented?

 

Stuff like this would be useful for Protect the NPC quests. I think they should be added in.

 

Probably as a system where it will allow you to leave your base with a decreased chance of having enemies damage/invade it, but if you are currently in your base and under attack, they would help as well.

 

"Okay, time to go exploring!"
*Comes back an hour later, sees base ravaged and destroyed*
"le FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--"

Yes, I think it should be added.

 

Yep automatic laser cannons on a space ship sounds good enough to support.

 

Sounds pretty reasonable that they'd add automated defenses.
Is it confirmed by the way that aliens and such would attack your base?

 

I only want Landmines if I can step on them when I'm not paying attention. What? It's what I do in every other game with Landmines

 

I think it sounds like a solid idea. I mean if we get guns, why cant we tie some string to the trigger and set up a basic trap?

 

Put this in the suggestions forum, mabie it will be considered by the devs, i think its a good idea personaly.

 

If they added these then they should have a game mode that would basically be a tower defense mode, fight off hordes of enemies and maybe even bosses.

 

TD > exploration .Nope they should be home defense.

 

Automated defenses would be cool. I think in order to get the blueprints for them you should have to do quests in which you defend certain areas from a small invasion or something along those lines.

 

Hmmm, yeah I mentioned something like this in the equipment/weapons megathread. Then stopped as I wondered what the point would be in establishing static defenses when you have more then one planet.

 

I like this idea alot, especially if your space station/base can get attacked by enemies. Would be awesome

 

I would love this since it would give ancient ruins a better method of killing you then just relying on enemies.

 

Something like this would be amazing

 

Sounds sweet!
Personally i'd love to see pittraps and trapdoors for defence as well ;p

 

Just make sure that your defenses can't destroy the base they are supposed to be protecting...

 

I am so going to design a self destroying base now ^^

 

At some level there should be. Whether it be by NPC or Mechanical. BUT it should be up the Tech-Tree
