Also, I had an interesting idea for additional non-manned defenses for the Citadel station.
If we give Zack the stuff needed for his drone project, we could potentially use those drones for defensive actions instead of offensive ones. As the drones could be given control of large slabs of armour and given thrusters to manoeuvre in front of enemy sightlines.
The central computer in the Citadel would coordinate them to open up for our own shots and then the Drones would close up whenever our guns were recharging or enemy fire is detected.
It should be simple. As the drones just need to intercept the line between an enemy ship and the friendly citadel.
Here's a concept image of how it might look with a ring of such defensive wall drones.
