General Information

The veritable glass cannon. Artillery pieces are enormous rail cannons strapped to a set of exo-treads. They can be built by a Level 4 Military Base.

Artillery is a highly effective tool, and can be used to lay waste to all manner of ground units and structures. They can fire air-burst plasma charges that deal more damage to Aircraft and Ships, but their large energy signature and poor maneuverability leave them vulnerable to attacks from above.

There are few surface forces in the galaxy that can stand up to upgraded artillery units behind a wall of Armor with Fighter support. Only the largest of capital ships can hope to stand against such a show of force.

Despite their huge damage potential, Artillery suffer from a relatively low firing speed. This gives them a disadvantage against Shield systems, which have time to recharge and rebalance themselves between impacts.

While it's tempting to strap these large cannons on wheels to the hulls of ships for additional firepower, artillery was never built to withstand the rigors of space combat. Numerous past attempts have resulted in the total loss of vehicle and crew, and it is all but impossible to convince field engineers to attempt such a feat anymore.

Strong Against

All Ground Units except Aircraft, all Defenses except Shields, Structures

Weak Against

Other Artillery, Fighter, Bomber, Varitek, Capital Ships, Rail Gun, Shields

Base Combat Performance

Damage inflicted and received should be multiplied by the unit's power stat for its level.
