Laser Turret

edit

Turret

High-energy laser beams will be emitted to keep strafing enemy units when they enter the defensive range. High temperatures lead to sustained damage to targets. Laser Towers' high-frequency lasers can hit targets precisely and in a short period of time, but they consume a lot of energy.

Summary

The Laser Turret is a unique turret that consumes no ammunition, instead focusing precise high-energy lasers on targets directly. However, these lasers consume considerably more energy than similar turrets. Like the Gauss Turret, it can only hit a single target at a time, but the ability to operate with no ammo makes it easy to integrate into a defensive line or create a low-maintenance defense.

Researching Energy Weapon Damage doesn't show a +X hp added to the info box of the Laser Turret, but a placed Laser Turret's menu will accurately display its improved DPS. Note that this research increases the damage of energy weapons by a percentage of their original damage, not their current damage, so each level of Energy Weapons Damage increases the Laser Turret's DPS by 12.

Laser Turret additional damage per level
Energy Weapon Damage Level	Damage +x%	Additional Damage	Cumulative Damage
-	-	-	120.0 hp
1	+10%	12	132.0 hp
2	+10%	12	144.0 hp
3	+20%	24	168.0 hp
4	+30%	36	204.0 hp
5	+30%	36	240.0 hp
6+	+20%	24	264.0 hp

The extra energy consumption compared to other turrets is a small price to pay for the convenience that Laser Turrets bring. All they require is a steady and stable power grid. Destroying Planetary Bases and constructing Geothermal Power Stations over them can provide a solid energy foundation for Laser Turrets.
- Laser Turrets are also extremely useful for farming the Dark Fog, as they can be unlocked relatively early and can easily handle lesser Dark Fog units, all without the need for ammo production and distribution infrastructure.
