This
single shot robotic sentry is a cheap and effective
deterrent to both raiders and larger enemy forces. Once
deployed it cannot be moved again.
"Both
races will be able to build a number of stationary weapon
platforms." - Dan Irish, Executive Producer
"While the vastness of 3D space always makes it
hard to lock down territory as your own, the two types of
static defenses--one with guns for use against fighters and
one with ion cannons--make it possible to deter smaller
enemy raids." - Sam Parker, GameSpot
These
platforms are "single-burn" like probes, in that
they can be given a move command, but only once; thereafter,
they are immobile. However, if not given a move command,
they assume parade formation with and follow whatever ship
builds them, so indirectly you can move them all you like,
as long as you keep them with the mothership that built
them.
