Summary0002045: Short timers for counterwave guard posts
DescriptionI think Counterwave guard posts would be more interesting in a lot of ways if they sent smaller-than-normal waves with a smaller-than-normal timer, rather then vice-versa. As-is, the fact that they hit a random planet isn't really an issue because you have more than enough time to get your fleet and defenses into position.

Short timers and less time to prepare would make taking them down more of a tactical choice, and would discourage bottlenecking (or at least would discourage leaving your core worlds completely undefended).

Declaring my support for this feature, although I'd like for the counterwaves to remain big and threatening, in addition to a shorter timer.

Given how game-ending these often are for players, I don't think making them shorter would be wise. But, adding an AI Modifier for halving the timer seems ok to me. Just out of scope for the moment, but good for later.

I was thinking that making them smaller would make them less of a game-ender, too. Sort of an automatic deep raid by the AI, instead of a Massive Fleet of Vengeance and Death(TM).
