	'''Laser turrets''' are an advanced defense building with longer range than the [[gun turret]], laser damage and use [[Electric system\|electricity]] to operate instead of [[Firearm magazine\|ammo]] (and a smaller amount of energy when idle). Each shot costs 800kJ of energy; as the shooting speed increases through upgrades, so does the power required to keep firing.
