Summary0000579: Turrets are WAY too expensive
DescriptionWith the reduction in turret amount, we've run into a problem where you quite frankly cannot afford turrets. Building a single tractor turret at the beginning of the game is enough to completely crash your economy. Let alone building 4 of them.

I like the new turrets, but they are extremely constricting in terms of economy. Are we supposed to rely on mobile ships instead? Very difficult with the early threat spam (0000571 and 0000475).

Actually, forget it. If the threat spam bug gets fixed, this is pretty much a non-issue. Please close and forget xD

Actually maybe a bit of re-balancing would be in order - crystal costs on turrets are completely out of whack now. Disparity was large before the turret changes - now it'll make you always out of crystal :D

True that. It wouldn't be so bad if you weren't _forced_ to build turrets in the beginning to survive the rising threat, but yeah they're still at bit high.

I tend to agree about the crystal costs and have felt this way for a long time. In fact, bombers are the only unit off the top of my head that use more metal than crystal. Perhaps some types of turrets could become metal-centric instead of crystal?

well, flak turrets are, but thats hardly enough to offset the rest.

* Short-range turrets no longer have any crystal cost, and now have doubled metal costs. MLRS turrets now have had their metal and crystal costs swapped (making them more expensive on metal than crystal, now).
