Please Add More Defensive Capabilities for Planets

First, I love the game.  It is a lot of fun.  I find it really annoying how few a number of defenses you can setup around your planets, particularly early on however.  Anyone can walk through.  Coming to your home system at least should require more of a force than it presently does.  Setting up a good defense shouldn't have such artificial limitations.  Please change the system to something more like the ship mantenance cost.  Maybe a defensive cost/penalty for the number you build over a certain number?  It seems crazy that you get so few.

wait, I thought that the PJIs have limited range?

It would be nice if the developers added a defensive setting to the game so each player could set the defensive amount they wanted before each game (or random).

They do but that range is generally enough to cover one or two phase lanes and they stall ships quite a bit longer than they used to. They also take 2 slots instead of 3 now.

And during that stall, the ships don't fight back so hangar defenses pretty much have free reign.
