You know I'm not crazy enough to make a building truly and very overpriced - trust me, it all fits into the mod nicely. It seems like you've never constructed one before - just play any Spamfest mode and build it for $1... you'll see!
It does take more than average power. But it also reveals the whole map, and enables the construction of ALL of the "classified" units/structure. And those things will give you a major advantage in battle - especially the Eurofighter Typhoon. Plus - the RB is actually a base defence in itself. I call it a Strato Cannon. It's a satellite in the stratosphere similar to the Ion Cannon used by the War Wagon - except it is manually controlled (for balance). All you do is select the building and click on enemies (or ctrl+click for force-fire). It fires (in a short range) a stream of plasma energy to the ground that deals major damage. A bit like the Particle Cannon from C&C Generals. Once the building is promoted, the range increases by approximately double - so provided you personally manage the building, you have perhaps the strongest base defence in the game.
