the omega corperation is a newly formed company that makes drones,fighters and planetary defences and trains soldiers.

the first "premade" defence setup,showcasing all the part currently in use.
And yes i made the sections myself.
(the sections not the guns)
also these have given me another idea that ill try later.
its todo with small "fighters" and much bigger sprites for these.

First off, the "arms" look like if you used a slingshot, they snap like a twig. Make 'em beefy. Second, the weapons seem like they could be easily shot off (unless you beefed the HP of them.) That's all I can say for now.

the arms are ment to be thin and twig-like they represent tubes that are on the planet...
ill post action shots to show what i mean

OK, that does make a lot more sense. I'd thought it was a really cruddy spacestation. xD

The, mmm, missile? in the middle doesn't look like it could fire upwards, though the other weapons make sense.

Also might be nice to add another layer of platform, maybe a few large discs.

Surface defenses like this are a neat idea.

I think you should put like a bubble shield doodad around it, because even it is supposed to be look like that, it still looks too fragile for the purpose it's supposed to serve. It's a planetary defence system right? At the moment, it doesn't look like it can even defend itself

in fairness to the defences they hold there own quite well against drones and fighters.but they ant as good against bigger ships.i also have more layouts that ill post soon.

I agree, these look TOO frail to be of any use past fending off minor space rocks.
A layer or armor plating around the connections would be appropriate and maybe smaller guns on these platforms, because the look a little small to be sporting a rail cannon, in real world terms this would make the whole installation fly halfway across the planet its orbiting, whenever it shoots, or at least seem to.

First thing is beef it up, second would be probably making the layout more logical, why would the lower machine gun be supported off the weapon in the middle, and not off the lower bobble thingy.

Guess you missed this point - it is not in orbit, it is on the surface of the world.

it looks ok for a planet structure but the guns are much too big they should be smaller than half the size they are now for the structure.

i have done 2 structures in my land units thread the link is my signature picture, thats the size i think guns should be on a planet structure

i would also say try to keep to 1 type of gun for something like that, with perhaps 1 bigger gun (not as big as it is now)
