<t> If you do not have area weapons (or even point defenses), it seems to me that you might put blasters (short range stuff) on stations in order to shoot at fighters and space creatures, or the occasional ship that enters short-range?<br/> Sure, having mostly long range, powerful stuff on stations ...
