Each base has a series of special installations which it requires for continued operation. These installations operate only within the confines of that base. So for example, if the Area Defense Shield at one base goes down, it has no effect on the same unit at another base.

All of these installations must either be disabled or destroyed in order for the base to be taken over.

NUCLEAR PLANT

Provides power to all units at the base. If it goes offline – and the solar reactor is offline – then
each of the key base installations will start to shutdown one after the other in sequence.

SOLAR PLANT

Provides backup power to all the units at the base. Kicks in if/when the nuclear power plant
is offline.

COMMS CENTER

Enables friendly players to communicate regardless of where they are located.

AREA DEFENSE SHIELD

EARLY WARNING RADAR
