Plasma Turret

Plasma Turrets have the highest base attack among ordinary fixed weapon defenses.

Base statistics

Property	Value
Structural integrity	250,000
Shield	1,000
Attack	7,500

These are base values before research. Structural integrity is not battle hull: combat uses one tenth of integrity. Defenses remain at the station where they are built.

Construction

Resource	Base cost per unit
Metal	100,000
Crystal	100,000
Deuterium	50,000

Requirements: Shipyard 8.

Material Physics reduces the resource price. Use the construction screen for the modified quote and timer.

Use and limitations

Construction requires Shipyard 8, not Plasma Technology 7 or a chain of other research. Bombers still have rapidfire 15 against them and Deathstars have 2. Balance their high cost against likely raid losses.

Bomber	15
Deathstar	2

Rapidfire is a chance of another shot after a hit, not a guaranteed number of kills. See rapidfire and test important matchups in the simulator.
