PLOP Habitation 12

The Planetary Living & Operations Platform, or PLOP, Habitation 12 is a solar powered unlock level 12 defensive fortification designed to provide a strong point against Zirax heavy base attacks. The design utilizes interlocking fields of fire both externally and internally to defeat drone attacks by air and troop assaults by ground. Should enemy troop transports survive the bristling anti-air defense package and deploy troops, enemy ground assault forces will need to negotiate 3 interior fortified choke points to gain access to the core of the base. These choke points take advantage of the fatal funnel created by the elevator to force enemies into focused fire from internal turrets to enhance the survivability of the base and the explorer.

Additionally, the base provides both HV and SV parking, significant production and storage capabilities, and all the standard mod con bits and bobs. The PLOP Hab 12 is perfect by itself or when paired with other PLOP structures to form a survival compound.
