I agree ... I'd like to announce that Cadar Defense Systems Incorporated have just released the Mark III Planetary Defense Platform. A fully self-automated, multi-targeting platform that is designed to protect an area of Terra (or Space) from hostile incursion. Pesky Explorers constantly coming and stealing the contents of your hard-earned Cache? With the Mark III PDP, these annoyances will be a thing of the past. Your only concern will be where to dispose of the charred remains of would-be thieves.
The Mark III PDP has significant improvements over the Mark I and Mark II models.
* The minimum range before Torp arming has been adjusted so that the base is no longer obliterated by a miss-fire.
* The Friend/Foe determination AI has been tweaked so now less than 60% of friendlies will be fired upon.
Order yours today for a more secure tomorrow.

Forgot to mention that it will try and destroy all Steel Song ships on sight, friendly or otherwise. I asked for that feature personally  |

If you can buy a base defense upgrade, you can be sure that other bases will have them.
Good luck landing in an urban zone where you're an Interstellar Terror Mastermind!
Also...you'd better hope that the Base Manager you left isn't bribed out from under you by a slippery DeValtos spy.
(What's the characteristic for the DeValtos? I'm thinking pantsuits.)

I was thinking more the pin-striped suits of the mob bosses. DeValtos have a fascination for violin cases.

I still can't get into DeValtos as a mafia stereotype. It seems to simple. I'm going to imagine them as used-car salesmen in pantsuits with bad toupees and worse Ponzi schemes.

Oh DaValtos has too much class to look that bad. They are the biggest Syndicate corporation in town ... aka "The Firm". They didn't make their fortunes by selling the occasional used escape shuttle. Their trade is in the boxy black warships (with the wind-down windows for orbital drive-by's).
DaValtos re-invented the phrase "We got a deal that you can't refuse", and "We're packing Heat ... seeking torps".

I'm pretty sure DeValtos don't care if they look bad. They just buy up fashion records and post pictures of pantsuits as the latest styles. Why? Because they own the pantsuit factory planets and pantsuits have a .001% higher profit margin than other types of clothing. Why? No belt loops, but you charge for the belt loops anyway.
