Turret Base

One, it can act as a major defence platform that isn\'t your base that is a cheaper alternative to a new starbase and quicker and the second is that it can act almost as a decoy to your enemy in them trying to target the main research centre. So, what do you get with it? Well, upgradeable from the base platform which already has a point-defence-phaser and cloak detection, you can select to build 3 pulse phaser and 3 photon torpedo turrets on its struts. Like the standard centre as well, you can destroy the pods individually or target the main structure, taking them all out. In playability terms, this does open up quite a few avenues of playing. By having one of these structures, you severely increase the defensive power of your base, no questions asked. It also means that you can save on having to build individual turrets and yes, it will take about the same time, but it means that your firing is centralised, to protect key areas, rather than placing a turret and hoping for the best. Short of an admiral\'s pic, this mod has all the content in needed to make it full. For Federation users, this is certainly an interesting download.
Now this is an idea I truly love. Take your average Federation research centre, make it build able after your research station and research turrets! This makes it a fantastic station for two reasons.
