Laser Tower



The Textech Base Defence X2 tower, or more commonly called the Laser Tower or the Defence Tower, is the cornerstone of any self-respecting colony. It burns aliens with a powerful laser beam, destroying 1 basic alien unit in 10 seconds.

Linking
Laser Towers can be linked together for greater effect, making the final tower in the link fire 50% stronger and up to 13% further per laser tower linked at it. However, without manuel control, a linked laser won't unlink if an alien unit reached its firing range. Also, a group of lasers firing at the same time does more damage then the same group of lasers linked. So, linked lasers are generally used to pick off alien units one by one at a great range, not to serve as a general killer.
