Uber Turret

"Place on a planet to provide the ultimate defense for its colonies."

Added by Ghelæ
Added by BretonThe Uber Turret is a colonization tool that, after being placed on a colonized world, self constructs and patrols the planet, attacking any enemy UFOs that assault your planet.
Due to its infinite health, no enemy will be able to destroy it. It is recommended to place it on a planet with frequent attacks or near enemy territory.
If the player has far, far more cash than they will ever use, he or she may wish to place one on every planet so that they can ignore virtually any attack message and worry about other things. It is important to note that although the Uber Turret is powerful, it is not perfect. Large invasions may be able to destroy some buildings if the Uber Turret does not manage to destroy the attackers in time. However, the speed and power of the turret means damage is usually very small and rare.
As a testament to the Uber Turret's effectiveness, Grox attacks on planets fitted with regular turrets and the uber turret may fail, even though they usually have 4 or 5 2,000 health spaceships and some smaller escort ships. However, unless your planets are T3 or T2 with 3 colonies all with full turret slots, quite a few buildings would be destroyed, so unless you have a lot of money to rebuild with (or you don't really care about your people, or you are in a mission etc.) it is best to go back and help defend, as T0 and T1 planets rarely survive.

Other Notes:
- Can only place one turret per planet.
- Can only place on a planet owned by your empire.
- Flies faster than normal spaceships. (Almost the same speed as the player, and can be hard to chase down)
- If you use the AOE repair next to one of your Uber Turrets, it will make a strange but cute "ahhyea" sound.
- If the colony on that planet is destroyed the uber turret will just fly aimlessly around.
Trivia
- Colonies with an Uber Turret will never revolt against your empire.
- There is no current way of removing the Uber turret, even if the colony is destroyed. Because of this, many players who enjoy the thrill of manually defending their empire lack the experience.
