I don't understand the level of hate on this new structure, as it is clearly a vanity item to be displayed for others. (Think of how many players have 'smart' parts ... not many ... )

It is worth noting that this building doesn't count as a defensive turret for the 3***'s on the defense simulator and works well as a 'soaker' to take those first hits that might be keeping you from getting the 4x XP boost on the higher sims.

As a player that has spent maybe a total of $20.00 on this game I can tell you first hand that it is not impossible to win a tourney. For those wishing to 'win' you need to approach the tourneys with more strategy in mind rather than dumping every last unit you have every time these things pop up.

First off, if you want to win you need to  pool units, 30% training accels and 24HR+ accells for months with the intent of winning....

Second you need to know how much map rating is needed to win a tourney in your sector (check the leader boards) .. also what your opponents have or intend to spend on a tourney and how much inventory you'll need to beat them ... and you'll need to know all this before you lay a single unit on the map to upgrade nodes.

If you plan ahead and play smart, you will win eventually.
