Building Progression
Outpost 6 - Sept 2014

Information

 * Base weapon (turrets) are mounted on stationary defense platforms.
 * The higher the level of the platform, the better the armor the longer it will survive an attack.
 * Starting at level 3 platforms they can also accept Base Specials.
 * A level 4 platform is also called by some a "DU4 Platform" as you need to have already researched Depleted Uranium 4 armor to build it.
 * You start out building Defense Platforms level 1
 * Higher level Defense Platforms are acquired by upgrading a lower level one
 * NEW Sept. 2014 -- Base Defense Turrets now have a new slot for Armor. Research this turret armor in your Naval Lab
 * NEW Sept. 2014 -- Base Turrets now consume and add to overall base power level
 * L5 Turrets are 4000 power (they take over 10 days to upgrade from L4)
 * L5 Turrets take about 6.5 hours to repair
 * NEW, Sept. 2015, with the new OP7, there are now Level 6 turrets (12+ days to upgrade from L5) offering another slot too; just be patient with the long upgrade time and be happy you'll have a few TANKED turret platforms when complete (by Xmas). OP7 also greatly increased base power (to 85000) so make your base more formidible as soon as you can!
