The Trigger Defense Array against Rebel Ground Assaults / Warrior Assaults


I had some thoughts about a good protection against Rebel Ground Assaults
and Warrior Assaults.

These devices have a radius of 10 lys. My idea was to
attack the attacking ships with the defense fleet in orbit of the target
base without actially leaving the orbit.

The trick is to place 8 combat
trigger units (cheap wings or ships) around the base in the right distance.
4 are placed exactly 5 lys in any straight direction, the other 4 each
exactly 4 lys up/down and left/right (all 8 form a circle around the base).

I tested it and it works! The attacking ship can't escape combat if within
10 lys around the base. Since auto intercept won't work against more than
one attacker, this system is even better. I call it TDA (Trigger Defense
Array). What I needed to learn is, that combat distance isn't exactly 5
lys, but even <6 lys. Only due to this my idea is possible without blind
spots in practice.
