Base power up defenses.

It would be a nice feature if base defenses engaged scavengers when you powered up the reactor. Would make it worthwhile sneaking into the power centre, rather than just killing everyone first. You are the only one in base with permission and security access and when you power up all defenses are, by default, on.

It would be good to see the anti-personnel turrets and drones begin to defend the base from the hostiles

Not only do the defenses not engage scavs - the scavs can actually report you for being in restricted areas. I once got a bounty because an illegal scavenger spotted me inside the reactor room through an open airlock door.

Just... what!?! A criminal cares about the rules of the facility?

Ha ha! Bit daft alright. Im referring more to where you actually have level 3 clearance from the mission, and are legally there powering up a powered down base.

Base defenses should engage skavs and any hostile ships dropping in reinforcements. It seems like the base defenses are there only to target player characters

Could not agree more !!!! Just cleared a base of skavs, powered up the base and another ship load of skaves turn up to attack me. So I high tail it back to my ship take off and get blasted by the base defenses. End up in jail and have to rebuy my ship.
Come on Frontier give us half a chance of completing a mission and getting our measly 173,000 creds. This by the way was only a grade one threat level, I don't see any point in even starting a grade 4 or 5.
