Hi, I'd like to start off by saying that I love this mod and use it in every single one of my playthroughs. With that in mind, this mod also makes me notice how incredibly forgetful I am. "COPS Invasion Inbound, 50 days until arrival." "Hegemony Invasion Inbound, 50 days till arrival." the log says while I'm surveying systems on the fringe of the sector. They formed a bit of a power alliance and are currently the most eminent force in the sector. Naturally, I, possessing a slightly smoother brain than average, forget about this until I return home right alongside said invasion, and my only thought is "Wow, that sure is 3 doomstacks here isn't it." My fleet isn't up to the task, and my in-system defenses from even my high command and nearby military base were either on vacation or otherwise not present.
Now, this all brings me to a suggestion. I would greatly appreciate some sort of defense fund that allows me, within the special function menu, to allocate monthly payments for system defense fleets of a given strength. Essentially an automated "request defense fleet" command upon invasions/expeditions to your systems. Now, this of course brings up the issue of possibly making the game play itself too much, to which I say that if balanced properly, the payout would be greater than manually requesting]. As a result, such a feature would be usable by those with only the monthly capital capable of sustaining it, and thus only usable by those players who have a fair few colonies to manage as it is.
