Base NTU usage questions


What causes NTU drain from a base? What effects it to cause it to drain faster or slower?

Theories I�ve heard:

Destroying the Gen drains NTU
Damaging the Gen drains NTU
Destroying Phalanx Turrets drains NTU
Destroying any terminal drains NTU
Destroying the spawn tubes drains NTU

So to turn a base neutral the best thing to do would be to kill the Gen, destroy all of the turrets, and destroy every spawn tube and terminal?

Repairing equipment takes NTUs, nothing else if I'm not mistaken. Up to date information should be in the web manual.

In a word: yes.

Although you wouldn't have to destroy all of them, that'd just make it go faster.

Not sure if creating vehicles drains NTUs anymore.

people spawning and repairing equipment consumes ntus. that and just the standard cost for maintaining a functional base

Things that don't consume NTU: Spawning, equipping, med terms, using Phalanx turrets, towers...

Things that consume NTU: All repairs (gen, tubes, terms, and turrets) and spawning vehicles

Im not sure about airpads or vehicle rearm terms...

If you completey destroy a gen all ntu's for the base go to repairing the gen and ignore repairing all other functions. So if you kill the gen nothing else in the base will repair till the gen is up. (Unless you repair it yourself). So whenever you are intentionally draining a base it is best to not kill the gen because it not only drains the base faster, but also keeps the enemies from noticing you're draining the base.
