You want them, I want them, everyone wants them. You know you want them in game. I'll pay any price to get them in! I'll refresh my coding skills to help develop them!
RESURRECT THE PLATFORMS!

Arn't platforms mainly done anyways?
I mean you could probably implement them on the side right?
How long could that possibly take?

Given that the new primary method of inter-stellar travel is going to be the Jumpgate, having sensor platforms and weapons platforms built at the gate to detect and engage attacking fleets would be preferred. I know we could just have people stand guard, but lets face it, the playerbase lacks the patience to stand guard of a JG for more than 10 minutes.
I understand just getting a reasonable 484 built is more important but plz dont let the platforms fall to the back burner when working on 485. I expect them to be at least somewhat implemented in 485.

Platforms are not important. They're just another wormhole fad that everyone wants really badly, but doesn't want to wait until everything else is ready first.
Platforms will stay on the backburner indefinately whilst we work on 1.484, and then after that is done, the dev team will probably get together and talk about what needs doing next. There are far more important things to be implimented before platforms get put in.
I know they were promised a billion times, but the reason they keep being pushed back is because they're seen as a non-important part of the game, that can wait until the important parts are finished. So it could be longer than 1.485, or even further into the future - it really depends on the rest of the dev team, and the priorities of the other things that need to be implimented first.

for those who dont know what would be more important,
grouping! (sharing prestige with your fleet/faction)

It, or something like it, is needed to give an incentive for the thankless tasks, prestige-wise. e.g. point defence ships, like the PD/ED (used how they were intended) could be very useful, but the chances of you getting prestige yourself from them are pretty low.

Once i started playing this game i knew that platforms would make this game one of the best i have ever played, it is good but platforms would make it even better. And plus i bet it wouldn't be too hard to throw some in some where, Please!
