Command Base Station


Command Base Station

 

The TSN Command Base is the first line of defense against enemy incursion into USFP space. These powerful space stations carry the most advanced sensor systems, capable of detecting enemy ships several sectors away with their long range antenna arrays. They serve as Command and Control for the TSN fleet, with each Admiral stationed on the base in charge of dozens of warships. Although Command Bases are fairly common in the USFP systems of the Orion arm, they are found only rarely on the frontier between the USFP and the territory of the Kraliens and their allies. They are usually found in key sectors, supported by several Deep Space Bases.

 

The Command Base Station is also heavily armed, with a standard TSN base beam and a torpedo launcher, which is capable of launching one Homing Torpedo every 30 seconds. It is also well defended, with shields twice the strength of other bases. The Homing Torpedoes used by the Command Base are similar to those used by TSN warships, but not exactly the same. The base torpedo is larger, doing 30 damage at a range of 5000. It is not interchangeable, so ship torpedoes cannot be used by the base, and vice versa. The Command Base does not consume its stock of ship Homing Torpedoes, and it is able to generate new torpedoes fast enough that its supply is effectively infinite. (Even while building new torpedoes for the Artemis at twice the normal rate!)

(Prior to Artemis 2.3, Beam damage for the Command Base Station was 7-35, with damage capped at difficulty 5. Max DPS was therefore 5.83 at all difficulties from 5 to 11. The current level of damage is from Artemis 2.3)
