Independents and Weapon platforms
I was wondering if it's a waste of metal constructing weapons platforms when I create a spaceport because I choose independent? What's it protecting? Its own self?

Re: Independents and Weapon platforms
Pretty much, unless you build in territory with Vonari around (which some do for expanded battle placements). In multiplayer, they can serve as a protective element against attacks from players (any faction). But in a sense, IND can be quite focused on building for increasing technology levels (expanding inventories), storage placements, shipyards, labs, and trade locations rather than combat elements.
