Tech 3 – Aeon Economy Buildings

TECH 3 AEON LAND FACTORY

T3 factories only increase build speed by 10, but the units you get make it all worthwhile. T3 factories are a big drain on your economy, so be prepared to have defenses or overwhelming force ready to protect yourself while you upgrade but try to get to Harbingers as fast as possible.

TECH 3 AEON AIR FACTORY

T3 air units are useful, especially since the Aeon’s airforce is nothing to write home about – you’d rather be able to pump them out that much faster.

TECH 3 AEON NAVAL FACTORY

The T3 naval factory is more valued for its build time – you won’t need to make a battleship right when you upgrade, but it sure helps to be pumping out those destroyers and cruisers faster.

TECH 3 MASS EXTRACTOR

That adjacency bonus number looks good, right? Unfortunately, since factories are size 16, putting it next to a T3 mass extractor is only a 5% bonus. You’re better off making some mass storage and increasing your production. T3 Mass Extractors are a big investment, but the extra armor helps, and they’re an excellent way to smooth out any excess mass you might be taking in.

Mass drain reduction (factories): 20.00%, 10.00%, 6.67%, 5.00%, 4.00%

TECH 3 MASS FABRICATOR

Mass Fabricators belong in only one place: next to your T3 power generators. Never, ever stop building these two units. Remember that you can power 3 Fabricators and a heavy shield on 2 Power Generators and still have some excess energy left over if you use adjacency.
