Listening Post

Listening Posts provide Chaos with increased requisition on captured Strategic Points and Relics as well as securing the locations against decapturing.

Tactics

Build Listening Posts on captured Strategic Points and Relics to improve requisition gained by Resource requisition.gif +6 (Resource requisition.gif +12 total for the point) and provide a greater sight radius of the surrounding area (though it still relies on the Strategic Points base detection range for infiltrated units). In addition when the Chaos Listening Post has finished construction you are given a gift of Resource requisition.gif 50 . This means that the Listening Post will have paid for itself just under 67 seconds after it has been finished.

You can also upgrade your Chaos Listening Posts for Resource requisition.gif 150 Resource power.gif 75  which further improves requisition gained by another Resource requisition.gif +6 (Resource requisition.gif +18 total) and adds a useful point-defense gun which is effective on infantry. This time the upgrade takes over 4 minutes just to pay for its requisition costs so it should only be done if you expect to hold the point for a while or you want the turret that the upgrade provides.

Upon reaching Tier 2 you can upgrade your Chaos Listening Posts again for Resource requisition.gif 265 Resource power.gif 155  to improve requisition gained Resource requisition.gif +6 (Resource requisition.gif +24 total), increase the health of the Post by 1200 and greatly improve the Listening Post's range and damage. However this upgrade would take over 7 minutes to pay for its own requisition costs so the point should only be upgraded to this state if you need the improved health and weapon it provides.
