AI Build New Turrets?
« on: August 23, 2010, 01:32:44 pm »
Does the AI ever build new turrets, or does it only rebuild them from debris?

I'm wondering if I can slowly neuter a planet, if I keep destroying turrets and clearing the debris after destroying them, or if the AI will build new turrets to replace them as part of reinforcements, etc.

Reinforcements can include brand new turrets.  AI Types vary on how likely they are to build turrets.

On a related note, some of the Hybrids will build new turrets.

All that said, bringing along a gang of cleanup drones with an offensive to clean up remains is a good idea, because if left the AI _will_ rebuild them (often pretty quick) and doesn't have to "spend" a reinforcement to get them.
