Siege turrets generate their own gravitational field effect, which can register all objects with more than a few pounds of mass within its radius. The shape-signatures of the objects are matched against its database, and any hostile patterns are eliminated. Alien structures have been successfully added to this database. The turret manipulates its gravitational field to induce a catastrophic effect – much like a sonic boom – that ignores intervening barriers and walls. The splash damage from this effect makes the siege especially effective against clusters of alien chambers. Since aliens themselves don't hold the same shape very long (i.e. they tend to move … a <i>lot</i>) they, and other mobile targets, don't register. But if an alien is standing next to a chamber or hive when a siege turret starts its bombardment, the incidental damage alone is often enough to kill them.</p> <table width="406" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" bordercolor="#0B7BEE"> <tr bgcolor="#000033"> <td colspan="3" height="23"> <p><b class="sectiontext"> Siege Turret</b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="32%"> <p><img src="images/images/10_damage.gif" width="10" height="10"> Damage</p> </td> <td colspan="2"> <p>700, 350 incidental damage.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="32%"> <p><img src="images/images/10_range.gif" width="10" height="10"> Range</p> </td> <td colspan="2"> <p>1250</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="32%"> <p><img src="images/images/10_time.gif" width="10" height="10"> Rate of Fire</p> </td> <td colspan="2"> <p>once every 5 seconds</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="32%"> <p><img src="images/images/10_armor.gif" width="10" height="10"> Armor Pts. </p> </td> <td colspan="2"> <p>2000</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="32%"> <p><img src="images/images/10_note.gif" width="10" height="10"> Note </p> </td> <td colspan="2"> <p>special attack (see description)</p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="34%" height="77"><img src="images/images/siege.gif" width="200" height="200"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="100%"> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top"> <div align="center"> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td background="images/design/surround_e.gif"><img src="images/design/surround_e.gif" width="37" height="482"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" height="2"><img src="images/design/surround_s.gif" width="768" height="81"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </BODY> </HTML>
