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. | |||

* | *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 Base|Planetary Bases]] and constructing [[Geothermal Power Station|Geothermal Power Stations]] over them can provide a solid energy foundation for Laser Turrets. | ||
**Laser Turrets are also extremely useful for [[Dark Fog Farming|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. | |||
