Summary0001695: No turrets get a bonus vs FFBs (structural)
DescriptionThis makes them really really hard to kill with static defense as the only default units that kill them anywhere near approaching a reasonable timeframe are bombers, and your bombers will be needed in non-defense to blow up FFBs out in enemy territory since they take forever to die. I suggest regular turrets become the FFB killers since FFBs essentially negate area damage and thus are a huge swing in difficulty if the AI gets them mid-game and regular turrets are a cheap research to get if you're low on knowledge.

Alternately or in addition make Lightning Turrets, Flak Turrets and Beam Cannons immune to force fields so the negation of AE damage doesn't cause a huge random swing in mid-game difficulty over a 2% random chance you have no control over.

If you ask me a forcefield blocking AOE should take damage for every unit it protects from damage.

That would work too.

Agree with KDR. The problem is that the base shot does damage where it impacts, dealing AoE around that target. When it impacts a FF, it explodes there.
