Title: Batteries for base defense
Post by: UFOtonic on December 04, 2012, 11:12:57 pm

Yesterday I downloaded and installed v2.5; I found what I think it is an issue.

I started a new game. First I researched "Continuous Wave Laser Operation" and "Base Defence Laser Turrent". Secondly, I manufactured a Base Defence Laser Turrent. Last, I built the corresponding building (Laser Battery) and tried to install the laser turrent in it. However, I was not allowed to do that. It was only possible after having buildt the first Missile Battery (for SAMs) in the game. It seems that it "unlocks" the installation of Laser Turrents.

If a player is not interested in SAM batteries inside bases, why must he/she build at least one of them, in order to have working Laser Turrent? In my opinion, these are independent facilities and the limitation does not make sense.

Regards.

I haven't played around with the base defense stuff that much. I've put this on my TODO list to look into if no one else comes along with a good answer.
