TACHYON FIELD
|
- Increases defense multiplier of base by one. This is cumulative with Perimeter
Defense, for a net tripling of defense strength at base
Like its predecessor, the Perimeter Defense, the Tachyon Field is an appealingly straightforward facility. It cannot be built unless your base already has a Perimeter Defense, and it boosts the defensive modifier for units in your base sqaure from two times to three times normal.
As with the Perimeter Defense, you can concentrate your Tachyon Field building efforts on the bases on your frontier, and give this improvement a much lower priority at interior bases ( but watch out for enemies who might discover the wonders of Drop Pods).
The Perimeter Defense and Tachyon Field, by the way, are the only facilities that change the appearance of your base icon. The Perimeter Defense surrounds the base with a fence-like black ring, and the Tachyon Field turns that ring to an incandescent golden color.
