Autonomous Expert System

Overview

This is the third, the largest and most powerful of the Tech Control main items (also called 'primary' or 'core'), that generate Control in a Supergroup or Villain Group Base.
The AES, along with the corresponding Tier 3 Power Source, the Fusion Generator represents the culmination of a Supergroup achievements in Tech Base Construction; many Base Architects regard them as the 'Crown Jewels' of the Base; these Systems are intended to be used by large -and typically PvP-oriented - supergroups with extensive bases and energy requirements. Of course, to go with such requirements, the cost and badge to unlock it are both rather extreme, as well as the required area in base to house the unit or units.
This will generate enough Control to supply the needs of a large sized base, including plenty of defensive items.

This computer uses the latest experimental technology and software to create a true synthetic intelligence. While its function is limited to security systems, the processing ability of this AI is such that it can handle all but the most demanding base needs.
