Yes, our opinions do differ on the matter. That's not exactly an end-of-the-world scenario.

If you were to ask me how to make defending colonies more challenging, and interesting, I'd suggest an RTS-style defence, using fleets of your own ships, and perhaps land-vehicles. The Uber-Turret could become a unit in this, that provides a massive bonus.

Either way, I'm against a destructible Uber Turret. It just makes it less Uber.
