Currently DEV mega stations have full protection~ and every trade & fuel station has full protection safezone.
the safe zone can be extended by player stations that are also build in the safezone(not sure how that will work).
but player stations outside the zone are free game.
I agree with that statement. that player stations should have a protection time frame so that we don't need to deal with the CSTG blight of having to fight them for non-stop 3 to 5 days straight without sleep. if they set it up so that the station shield falls for maybe a few hours and varying it on size to make it fall more often/ longer. that would be great.
in Atlas...I hated losing my base after staying awake for 3 days straight during a weekdays to fight a damn mega-faction. they just keep naked running my base and chiping the walls with pickaxes and would sit there contesting every area flag I owned. the message on my screen drove me nuts.

idk how the devs replyed to this, but wasnt there a question about forcefields or shields?
i mean... we allready have one (the cargo frame and maybe the tractorbeam/cargobeam, so it kinda fits with the theme of the game)
maybe make it so factions could place this huge energy eating chunk of technic onto their station and the forcefield would prevent everyone inside from taking damage and make all projectiles bounce off the shield (so you dont have an advantage just becourse you are inside of the shild and your enemys arent). would be a good idea becourse:
1. would heat up over time so if used too long at one time would explode (heat mecanism like with the generators)
2. would be the same scifi theme
3. would use energy and make a temperary safezone wich basicly everone wannts.
4. thanks to the heat would make it so you cant have it online 24/7
5. you could see how big the forcefield is just by looking at it (you know good old blue transperant forcefields)
6. normal stations could use these things too but 24/7 for the starter stations
7. maybe different shieldsizes with different heat/energyconsumtion?
(i probably forgot something important why this is a bad idea but i dont see one yet)

No. That system killed faction warfare harder than it already was. My understanding is that player owned safe stations lose their safezones when a declared enemy overwhelms some variable fleetsize requirement determined by a base value plus the fleetsize value of friendlies present. So a seige could become a contest of who can keep the most people online longer and then devolve into a fight, which means a certain class of people with too much time on their hands will tend to dominate.
