Tech 3 – UEF Defenses

FLAYER – ANTI-AIR SAM LAUNCHER

T3 anti-air is the ultimate solution to air attacks. It’ll take out any plane with a barrage of tracking missiles, and it does enough damage that a couple of them are able to stop even T2 transport drops before they get close. If your scouting reveals a T3 air factory or a cloud of malignant gunships, start making these guys; you’ll be glad you did.

HSD PULSE – HEAVY SHIELD GENERATOR

As a standalone unit, the UEF T3 shield covers a very wide range – perfect to build in the middle of your T3 power and fabricator farms, or to overlap and protect your most important projects. On your defensive line, you’re better off with T2 shields that you upgrade later. Remember, if you’re under attack, your engineers can help recharge the shield by being told to assist or repair.

DUKE – HEAVY ARTILLERY INSTALLATION

T3 artillery is perhaps the most ironclad of long-term plans: build one in range of the enemy base, covered with an impenetrable defense, and only heavy shields can save them. A word of warning: it has a substantial minimum range, so you’ll need to protect it with T2 artillery.

STONAGER – STRATEGIC MISSILE LAUNCHER

Nuclear Warhead (Missile): inner ring damage: 70000, inner ring radius: 30 (586m), outer ring damage: 500, outer ring radius: 40 (781m) A nuke wipes out everything in its path, and that’s why it’s so ridiculously expensive and has its own specialized defenses. You can either eliminate their nuke defenses with traditional arms and then follow up with a decisive strike, or in team games, you can have your teammate protect you while you rush to get a single nuke missile targeting the enemy Commander before they even think of having defenses for it.

NUKE ELIMINATOR – STRATEGIC MISSILE DEFENSE

It’s never a bad idea to have a nuke defense covering your T3 factories and power farms in a long game, just in case someone gets any funny ideas. You can assist the nuke defense missiles if you’re worried about time.

SA3-OMNI – OMNI SENSOR ARRAY

The Omni Sensor basically requires its own dedicated T3 power generator, especially if you decide to put a shield around your significant investment, but it’s worth it: it gives your base protection from stealth and cloaking fields while also expanding your radar range so you won’t need multiples. You don’t need to make one immediately on reaching T3, but towards the end of the game most players have excess energy to power one anyway.

SP3-SONAR – SONAR PLATFORM

The UEF Sonar Platform is actually a decent fighter in addition to its insane sonar range. With the upgrade to tech 3, the platform gains the ability to move. Feel free to set it on patrol by your torpedo launchers.
