General Information

File:BASE-HYPERW.JPG

The most expensive facility in the game (but worth every penny), the Hyper-Wave Decoder not only picks up any UFO within its detection range, but informs you of the type, mission, and race onboard.

The Small and Large Radar systems have a percentage chance of detecting UFOs passing within range, but the Hyper-Wave Decoder will detect any UFO within its range immediately. Once a Hyper-Wave Decoder is constructed, all other radar systems housed in the same base can be dismantled.

Although the Hyper-Wave Detector's actual range is unknown, it is the ultimate tool for UFO Detection. It adds one unit to your base's "Long Range Detection" meter, although that statistic is meaningless.

Statistics

Construction Time: 26 days
Construction Cost: $1,400,000
Maintenance Cost: $35,000/month

Detection Abilities:
Short: 0
Long: 0
Hyperwave: +100

The above apply a one-time-bonus to the bases detection abilities.
