Have you ever noticed the obsolete structure outside your base? It's one object that seems to serve no purpose, and looks something like a giant turret. This is actually an Electronic Warfare platform - Which until recently - Didn't do anything. Now it does what the Maltu Outpost does - It jams your engines. The only difference is, it jams them hard! Enemy players who get within range of your base will now get locked down for 10 seconds. The perfect target! So this means the overall objectives of Basewars just got shifted as I originally intended them. Your first target will be to take out the enemy ECM platform - Or you don't have a chance of destroying the base.
The code is finalized, and it has been implemented in the latest 1.3.1 build. Th e platform cycles it's targets and has a 20 second recharge time, giving some room for maneuver. It does use slightly more CPU cycles, especially when searching for a target. So we'll need to test it.
