Although it's much better than vanilla, the individual size is still so small that building multiple Defense Platforms in an end game takes a too long time and tedious.

Especially when I have multiple Strategic Coordination Centers (I built mine and then captured AI's)

+ It misses piracy_suppression of vanilla update

By referring to the 2.8.1's vanilla data (especially dummy data of military_station_medium and large), I think it's better to make the both of defense platforms of vanilla and mod much larger to make a few elite instead.

The following is what I made with minimal editing.

Would you look into these?
