NPC/Vehicle Guards outside of GCW bases

NPC/Vehicle Guards outside of GCW bases
This idea/suggestion is Open. You can respond to ask questions or discuss the idea and either vote it up or down if you believe it should or should not be implemented, respectively. Popular suggestions and ideas will be considered by the development team to become reality in-game.
Proposal
NPC and vehicle guards added outside of the base, with a general at the bottom for certain bases or for certain ranked players.
Justification
Difficulty of taking over a base increased as well as a little more engagement in the GCW conflict.
Motivation
increase difficulty of destroying bases, adding a little more innate defense to help lower the mandatory cost to defend a base. Newer players will struggle to spend 1-2mil on a base to have it destroyed in a day.
Proposal: As of right now there are only some silver guards inside the base which you can for the most part fight 1 at a time, turrets (that kind of bug out if you get close to them) and mines which are really just a bit annoying. Having some patrolling NPCs or even an AT-XT (or w/e for imps/rebs) or two outside the base could be really neat and provide a little more engagement to the taking over bases. Perhaps even a weaker version of an Invasion general at the bottom. Perhaps reserve this for a higher level base like officer ones or any base if placed by an officer of X rank.
 
Would be kind of neat to beef it up a bit. NPCs are mostly a minor nuisance. Make bases like a mini Tower Defense style game lol
 
I really like the "Mini-General" NPC idea at the bottom of the base. Similar to "Keep Lord" NPCs in other games.
