Lair Upgrades

From Sci Wiki

As you upgrade your lair, it changes the picture on your "View Lair" page. Not every upgrade will change the picture however. Currently there are four types of upgrades: Laser Cannons, Press Connections, Barracks, and Deathtraps.

• Laser Cannons: Activate when someone instigates an attack on you. Only activate once on the first round of combat.
  • Basic Laser Cannons (100 Rep.) Do 1-10 damage.
  • Advanced Laser Cannons (250 Rep.) Do an additional 1-10 damage.
  • Extreme Laser Cannons (500 Rep.) Do an additional 1-10 damage.

• Press Connections: Affects how much reputation you lose if you are defeated. With enough press connections, it is possible to lose a battle and still gain reputation.
  • Minor Press Connections (100 Rep.) Negates 1-10 points of reputation loss.
  • Many Press Connections (250 Rep.) Negates an additional 1-10 points of reputation loss.
  • Outright Bribery (500 Rep.) Negates an additional 1-10 points of reputation loss.

• Barracks: (100 Rep.) Required if you want to hire minions. This opens up the Hire Minions option.

• Deathtraps: Allow additional Reputation gain after defeating an opponent who attacks you in your lair. Somehow, they always manage to escape your deathtrap though.
  • Starter Deathtrap (100 Rep.) Adds an additional 1-10 reputation gain.
  • Improved Deathtrap (250 Rep.) Adds yet another 1-10 to reputation gain.
  • Extravagant Deathtrap (500 Rep.) Adds yet another 1-10 to reputation gain.

• Data Processing Unit: (100 Rep.) If you have a scanner equipped to your weapon at the start combat, you will receive a message telling you if your attaack/defense is strong/weak/mediocre/etc against your opponent's current configuration. NOTE: this information is only availble if you instigate combat.
