Summary

The Signal Tower is the power distributor with the longest connection range, second biggest power distribution area, and is capable of charging Icarus as a Wireless Power Tower would. It also has a limited taunt effect which encourages Dark Fog ground units to prioritize it as attack target. Signal Towers also allow Missile Turrets to lock on targets which would otherwise be outside their line of sight.

Player Tips & Tricks

A signal tower allows all the missile turrets on a planet to target any enemies within range of the signal tower -- making them very effective as wiping out Dark Fog forces from long range. This does not require a daisy-chain of signal towers, nor even for them to be on the same power grid.
