When Ions aren't enough to deter the noob, Dizzies make the ouch hurt more to the point that some noobs lose the entire fleet.Ĩ) Deflection shield. Until everyone else starts using end game defenses.ħ) Disruptor Turrets. They do use 3 energy, so energy tech to make those plants put out more than 3 at a time really important.Ħ) Photon Turrets Once you got these, Missile turrets are obsolete and you be scrapping them.3 layers Ions and 2 layers photon and the average player just moves on to finding something easier to hit. they have SHIELDS (albeit weak ones) Ion turrets are the early game "piss off noob" to fighter droppers.

So for the same energy, half the credits, you get equal power and 1.5 times the armor by simply getting 2 missile turrets instead.ĥ) Ion turrets have twice the power and armor of Missile turrets, and 1 other really important thing. With normal techs, has maybe twice the power, and 1.5 times the armor of a missile turret. Generally, the better players skip using Barracks and Laser in favor of Missile right out of the gate.Ĥ) Plasma Turrets. If you have a guy flying frigates and brandishing a brace of Missile turrets, you got a hard target for the early game. Sort of like a poodle bites harder than a teacup Chihuahua.ģ) Missile Turrets cost 20 credits for 5 of them. drop 12 fighters, take the base for pillage, plunder the route, bring in the recyclers to clean up the 20 credits or so of debris.Ģ) Laser Turret cost 10 credits for 5 of them. So if mister farm guy sees a barracks and 1 fighter protecting a trade route. A layer of Barracks does nothing to stop a trade route plunder. Overall buying a barracks is spending the price of 1 fighter, gets you the power and armor of 10 fighters that don't produce debris when they die. power per credit is 4*5/5= 4 (before tech bonus) The Armor value in this table is baseline before tech bonus is applied.ġ) Barracks cost for 5 of them, 5 credits. The power in this table is baseline before the actual tech bonus is applied. Each cost of a layer of the turret is buying 5 sets of that weapon for that cost total.
