I am not sure how this would work with the noncombatant system. You should probably be able to siege a system even if the owner(s) are offline, but then even once the solar system has been contested the attacker likely has to wait for them to come online to proceed with the attack.

With that kind of system, you don't need "offline protection" at all because the defender has plenty of time to respond.
