Facility Benefits
Successfully capturing a facility will give you access to its equipment and the benefits that those offer. Certain doors will now remain locked to opponents unless they manage to unlock it with a REK. You will then be able to respawn and use Terminals at the facility. The Wall Turrets (when repaired) will come online for use by you, or automated defending mode.
Extending beyond the defensive walls of each facility is an invisible Sphere of Influence (SOI). This SOI powers certain types of deployable objects that defenders may place to aid them against enemies. The SOI also prevents the High Altitude Rapid Transport (HART) Shuttle from deploying drop pods within it.
Each facility provides its own unique set of benefits to the side that can maintain control over it. These benefits are shared among facilities on the same continent when connected to each other through the Continental Lattice. Facilities do not need to be directly linked in order to shared benefits, so benefits will be shared as long as there is an unbroken chain of Lattice Links between the facilities. On the continental map, icons over each facility will represent the benefits that it can access.
What benefits/advantages do you receive for capturing certain bases?
| AMP Station (Shielded Vehicle Icon) |
Charges the shield generators of vehicles while they are in a linked friendly Sphere of Influence. Vehicles with charged shields can withstand a greater amount of damage. |
| Bio-Lab (Respawn Tube Icon) |
Reduces respawn times at friendly linked facilities. A Bio-Lab also provides Implant Terminals and Certification Terminals. |
| Dropship Center (Wrench Icon) |
Enables Vehicle Repair Stations at linked bases (Rearm can be used at any base), also provides the Galaxy and Lodster. |
| Interlink Facility (RADAR Display Icon) |
Enhanced RADAR abilities. The Interlink facility gives friendly linked bases the benefit of seeing enemy troops on the minimap within the base SOI. Also Spitfire Turrets will shoot at enemies within the SOI even if they are crouching. |
| Technology Plant (Tank Icon) |
Provides Access to Advanced Assault vehicles - Reaver, Liberator, Empire Specific Tank, Sky Guard, Sunderer, Flight Variant BFR. |
When a continent is locked to 1 Empire all bases receive benefits as listed above. To receive a certain benefit at another type of base the 2 (or more, depending on benefits desired) bases must be linked, the bases are linked when there is a solid Empire coloured latice line from that base to another. If this line links many facilities then all bases linked receive the benefits from the other bases. The exception to the rule is if a facility generator is down, the benefits from that base will no longer be availble as the link is broken, this is also the case when a base is hacked. If a base is hacked or generator destroyed at a facility that was the only linking base to other types of bases, then all benefits are then lost.
