So are the new Trading Guild stations so pretty they don't need defense?

I noticed before this update that the new Trading Guild stations don't defend themselves. Is that still the case?

Trading guide stations are protected by the server, you cant damage them anyways iirc. They were made by players in a contest though, so there might be things like disabled AI or just a lack of turrets to begin with.

Their only defense is AI fleets arriving to protect them.

I haven't noticed that but i do think that if one of those stations has a turret it's likely broken because of the changes the rail system brought.

Really I do not see a full purpose to have turrets or any defense on guild stations, because most are not willing to attack the hand that provides. It would be necessary if the pirates would straight up fight the station, but beyond that it seems kind of redundant. That said, if they add rival trade guilds, I could definitely see them warring, but until then, the stations should stay the same.
