Missile Turret

Turret

Equipped with an advanced missile launcher and a target identification system, Turrets can quickly identify and locate both ground and space targets. Once they lock onto a target, they will then launch missiles. They are designed to respond to multiple threats with all-around defense.

Summary

Missile Turrets are automated turrets that can fire targeted missiles at both ground and space targets. They are the first turret capable of dealing explosive damage (hitting a group of enemies at once instead of one at a time). Missiles also physically push away enemies on explosion, allowing Missile Turrets to hold off even large Dark Fog ground invasions (with enough turrets, of course).

Missile Turrets consume Missile Sets, Supersonic Missile Sets, and Gravity Missile Sets. More advanced missiles deal more damage in a bigger blast radius and also fly faster to strike targets sooner.

Player Tips & Tricks

All the Missile Turrets on a planet can target any enemies within range of any Signal Tower on the planet, making them very effective tools for defense and offense alike. This is also true for Planetary Bases, allowing the player to power and place a Signal Tower in range of it to "siege" it from long range. However, because missiles take time to travel across a planet, it is recommended to either add additional defenses or utilize higher-tier ammunition (Supersonic Missile Set, Gravity Missile Set). Once a missile has targeted a Dark Fog unit or base, even if the Signal Tower is destroyed, the missile will still find its target.
By default, Missile Turrets are configured not to engage high-air targets, but enabling that targeting will allow them to target Relay Stations. However, damaging an established Relay Station will increase the threat level of the Dark Fog Hive.
- However, this threat increase only applies to Relays that have already set up on the planet. Attacking and destroying approaching Relays before they reach the atmosphere will not increase the Hive's threat level.

(Note: new Relay Stations destroyed as they approach the planet will not generate that Space Hive threat, and missiles linked to polar Signal Towers are more than capable of destroying those attempts to land new bases)
