CORE LEVEL 1 BASE STRUCTURES

All structures here are built by the Construction spacecraft.

SPACECRAFT PLANT

ENERGY: 2056
METAL: 1101
BUILDTIME: 13620

MISSION: Produces lightweight fighters and ODS units
MADE BY: Command cruiser, level 1 construction spacecraft, level 2 construction spacecraft
ARMOUR: Very good
ENERGY PRODUCED: 0
CAN BE BUILT IN SPACE?: Yes
RESOURCE USAGE: Low

The primary factory that produces the basic units needed to claim victory.

ADVANCED SOLAR COLLECTOR

ENERGY: 2208
METAL: 488
BUILDTIME: 10204

MISSION: Produces energy
MADE BY: Command cruiser, level 1 construction spacecraft
ARMOUR: Fair
ENERGY PRODUCED: 70
CAN BE BUILT IN SPACE?: Yes
RESOURCE USAGE: 0

More efficient and cost-effective than regular solar panels, this array is extremely useful in space environments where energy sources are limited.

 

ARMOURED METAL EXTRACTOR

ENERGY: 514
METAL: 159
BUILDTIME: 2874

MISSION: Harvests metal
MADE BY: Level 1 construction spacecraft
ARMOUR: Fair
ENERGY PRODUCED: Metal (depends on source)
CAN BE BUILT IN SPACE?: No

RESOURCE USAGE: Very low (3 energy)

Able to withstand more damage than the standard extractor, it also features a slightly more efficient design and so gains a little extra metal per deposit.

 

ORBITAL METAL MAKER

ENERGY: 700
METAL: 0
BUILDTIME: 2682

MISSION: Converts energy to metal
MADE BY: Command cruiser
ARMOUR: Poor
ENERGY PRODUCED: 0 (1 metal)
CAN BE BUILT IN SPACE?: Yes
RESOURCE USAGE: Moderate (60 energy)

For situations with low metal supplies, these units can come in very handy.

 

STARSHIP YARD

ENERGY: 3023
METAL: 1834
BUILDTIME: 18520

MISSION: Produces advanced starfighters and small starships
MADE BY: Level 1 construction spacecraft
ARMOUR: Very good
ENERGY PRODUCED: 0
CAN BE BUILT IN SPACE?: Yes
RESOURCE USAGE: Moderate

Neccesary to gain access to more advanced systems and units. Builds ships up to frigate in size

POCKET FUSION REACTOR

ENERGY: 11831
METAL: 1462
BUILDTIME: 20768

MISSION: Produces energy
MADE BY: Level 1 construction spacecraft
ARMOUR: Fair
ENERGY PRODUCED: 220
CAN BE BUILT IN SPACE?: No
RESOURCE USAGE: 0

Although not as efficient as the regular fusion plant, it is nevertheless a very useful structure, providing energy sooner and for less cost than it's larger cousin.
