To make defending less gimped

[Doppler]

These are some simple ideas I put out as a purely mental excersize. I'm not paying a whole lot of attention to implementation, although i think on most counts it whould be fairly simple.

Allow spitfires to be placed indoors.

Make the IFF on the CC, Gen Room, and spawns have almost double or maybe even triple the current hack time.

Anyone (other then cloaked infiltrators) passing through the archway of an IFF door set off the equivalent of a motion sensor unless they have hacked the IFF. (So no running undeteected through a door that an enemy opened when running out.

Make shield modules put an empire specific field over all IFF doorways allowing only defendors to pass through without hacking the IFF.

Place Phanalax (sp?) turrets at the corners of the bases indoor providing field of fire over the courtyard.

Provide some centralized command and controll (maybe some kind of chamber that you get in and gives you a third person perspective within the base SOI thats free floating) to help defenders coordinate.

Give towers a 5 minuete hack timer for empires that dont own the nearby base, but instantanious for defenders.

Give bases some sort of manable dedicated AA turret whos view is not obscured by the walls and buildings (i.e. on the highest point in the base)
