Portal
>>Base cost<< >>Construction Time<< >>Upkeep<< >>Networth<< The transportation and defense hub of an empire. Every empire starts off with one on its home planet. Transport between portals is instantaneous. Portals can serve as a military rapid reaction base for the main fleet, to respond quickly all over the galaxy to military incursions upon your territory by any other empire. Can also be used as the starting point for your attack. All units you build will be stationed in your main fleet when complete. Portals also have area coverage that means that you do not need a portal on every planet and only need 1 per system, it's influence would work on systems nearby, though the farther you get away from the portal the less covered that planet would be. It doesn't take a great deal of money to build a portal they are very complex structures and require not only a constant maintenance work on them, but also drain great deal of energy in order to operate over the great distances. |
