Turbines are the primary source of electrical power for the Free Trade Alliance. Each Turbine will provide 300 power, so several will be needed to run a base with all the structural advances. It should be noted that Turbines are weak and easily destroyed by Turbine Copters. Defending them with more than a couple Advocates is preferable.

A Radar Tower allows foreign and domestic units and structures to be seen in the radar screen. Radar will keep troops from having to fly blind, and provide instant knowledge of where new units are on the screen. Radar Towers also serve to allow the creation of several new units, including Interceptor's, Da Vinci's, and Turbine Copters once a Copter Station is built.

	Cost: 1000	Build Time: 30s
	Power Consumed: -400	Tech Req: Turbine
	Allows: Interceptor, Da Vinci, Advocate, Copter Station	Class: Radar facility
	Function: Allows radar	Armor: 400
	Good For: Lack of radar facility	Speed: 0 (stationary)
	Counter With: Any offensive unit	Damage Yeild: N/A
	Primary Weapon: N/A	Hover Distance: 0 (ground)
	Secondary Instrument: N/A	Can Deploy: No

Advocates are standard FTA defense turrents. They are better armored than Interceptors and deliver about the same damage. A few properly placed Advocates can ensure a base's security against attacks by any low hovering ships. On the down hill side, Advocates cannot target high flying units, allowing enemy Turbine Copters to fly unhindered above.

	Cost: 500	Build Time: 15s
	Power Consumption: -100	Tech Req: Radar Tower
	Allows: N/A	Class: Defense turrent
	Function: Defense structure	Armor: 350
	Good Against: Most low-flying units	Speed: 0 (stationary)
	Counter With: Bombers and Gamma Cruisers	Damage Yield: Medium
	Primary Weapon: Plasma cannon	Hover Distance: Low
	Secondary Weapon: N/A	Can Deploy: No

The Copter Station is a necessary structure for Turbine Copters to reload at. Placing the Copter Station close to the enemy base is advised, as it will allow Turbine Copters to make more frequent runs and reload faster. However, do not leave the Copter Station undefended. Turbine Copters alone will not guarantee the station's safety. If the Copter Station is lost, the Turbine Copters will be left defenseless after they drop their bombs.

	Cost: 1500	Build Time: 20s
	Power Consumption: 0	Tech Req: Radar Tower
	Allows: Turbine Copter	Class: Reloading station
	Function: Ammunition replenishment for Turbine Copters	Armor: 200
	Good Against: Friendly Turbine Copters	Speed: 0 (stationary)
	Counter With: Any offensive unit	Damage Yield: N/A
	Primary Weapon: N/A	Hover Distance: 0 (ground)
	Secondary Weapon: N/A	Can Deploy: No

Cloaks can hide a base and friendly units from enemy sight. When the enemy travels near the cloak, it gives a chance to catch the enemy on unawares and surprise them with the base's true strength. Cloaks are among the more expensive structures of the FTA and require two Turbines to be powered. They should be used sparingly and carefully.

	Cost: 2500	Build Time: 35s
	Power Consumption: -300	Tech Req: Da Vinci
	Allows: N/A	Class: Cloak
	Function: Concealing friendly units and structures	Armor: 400
	Good Against: Non-reconnaissance enemy units	Speed: 0 (stationary)
	Counter With: BC-45 or a unit that enters the Cloak	Damage Yield: N/A
	Primary Weapon: N/A	Hover Distance: 0 (ground)
	Secondary Weapon: N/A	Can Deploy: Yes

Among all the structures that can be built, the Quantum Gate is the most valuable. A Quantum Gate will grant units safe passage into the future and back to the present. What makes the Quantum Gate so valuable is that when the Drop-Ship is sent through the gate into the future, more advanced units can be built in the future and sent back to the present. Quantum Gates work both ways, as units can be sent to the future and back to the past. Keep the Quantum Gate well protected, as it is not only expensive, it can also leave units stranded in another time period if destroyed.

	Cost: 2500	Build Time: 30s
	Power Consumption: -500	Tech Req: Da Vinci
	Allows: Gamma Cruiser	Class: Time machine
	Function: Time travel	Armor: 800
