From BA to XTA

Light Laser Tower

Light laser towers (LLTs) have a much different role in XTA They cost 350+ metal and should NOT be spammed unless in specific circumstances. It is widely thought that two well spread LLTs will kill a Commander.

Commander

Unlike BA, there are differences between Core and Arm Commanders:

• Arm is faster, while Core has longer range D gun (260 as oppose to 240)

At morphing, they are also different:

• Core get a close range laser at level 2
• Arm get a paralyser at level 2
• Core get a plasma shot at level 4
• Arm get three raven rockets at level 4

The commanders have shorter range than BA commanders in general. It costs 200 Energy to cloack a stationary Commander, and 1000 a moving one.

The D-Gun also has a wider impact.

Commanders do NOT leave a wreckage.

Morphing

Commanders can be morphed in XTA (toggeled on/off in host options). Commanders can be morphed 4 times. First level gives:

• +3 metal, +75 E nergy (starts at +2 and +50
• 2,000 metal + Energy storage (starts at 1,000)
• Build speed increases by 25, gets full Tech 1 radar as well as increased LoS
• Range increases by 20 and more powerful primary laser
• Level 2 requires 0.25 experience and gives improvement on level 1.
• Level 3 requires 0.10 experience (will go to 0.09 if excess after level 2)
• Level 3 gives improvement on level 2 as well as self repair option
• Level 4 requires 0.25 experience and gives improvement on level 3
