Few questions arose when I started to think to build the Death Star.

1. How effective DS is as a protection vessel for my planet and my fleet.

2. How can I protect my DS while it's on the construction stage.

until a ship is finished with the construction stage it cannot be destroyed.that is what I have found out at least.

Yea they cant be destroyed till after there done and they dont show up till there done and also dont leave your fleet on your planets for protection it actualy makes you a target becouse debris keep you fleet off the planet as much as possible and FS!!!!

Ok, tis clear now bout the construction.

the 1st question I've had

how good the DS as a protection stuff for the planet and the fleet.

well what i was trying to say was that no ship is good for planet defence for that there are def dont use fleets ase def. so my answer would be no they are not good for planet def.

No ship is good for def. Players attack you for the res and df. All ships make a df. No ships left behind, take the res w you, and theyll move right on by...

so, whatever fleet I have I should move it around all the time in fear that smbody gonna destroy it?

and then in this case fleet is good only for transporting and attacking, as I understand.

I´m making it sure for me, because I've experienced situation when on one of my planets there were no almost any defenses, thou I've had 1 HF and 1 LF and they saved my planet from BC and couple of LCargos -

I lost LF and took their 1 LCargo, and battle get in tie. So my res. were safe.

That's why I assumed that by building DS and some Fighters around the planet will give quiet good extra protection along with ground Defs.

???

As you progress, people will hit you with bigger fleets. Getting past a RIP on a planet is no big deal for fleeters higher up, and it makes a tasty DF.

basicly you will get attacked in this game and have a deathstar in orbit will only detur low levels.It will attract the elite though.so if you want to defend your planet put in planetary defense.which will not create a DF.

Let me sum it up for you. Don't use a fleet as defense. If you have a fleet, fleet-save, and to a moon I might add. If you want a defense, build DEFENCES.
