Well, um. what exactly do you have in your base then? (Im getting envious 
)I woulndt imagine running out of energy that easy, unless the base was filled with defense items.. Goonies base feels small now, we just have supercomp and are saving for turbine generator.
Afaik, there is a third generator, called Fusion generator that I hear (read from some US faq) produces 25000 energy, but its unlock mechanism is unknown to me.
Hehe hello Death.
Well I know how you are feeling (actually I dont :P). There is a third power unit, I did look at the fusion generator but at 7.5 million its abit out of my price range. Also to get the fusion generator you need to unlock a badge - you have to spend 50 hours total in PvP Zones (In SG mode). Thus I feel must be fairly close to it
Hope that helps.

50 hours?? yay.. that cant be too far off true 7.5 mill is a big chunk of cash.. but atleast its reachable... it means we can have a plan and a goal =P and it will be worth every penny.. considering i got 15 hours alone on my main, and we got severa sirens/WB junkies it wont be too long lol... thx for the info, max
Ummmm i heard 5000 hours ;p
But i may well be wrong =)

Definitely nowhere near that as we've unlocked it over on my VG. Nowhere near enough cash to place it though, barely got enough for the turbine one.
Is that definitely how you get it though? My VG doesn't really PvP so surprises me we've unlocked ahead of PvP VG's like EVIL?
Here's the salvage needed.
EQUIPMENT Expert Worktable
INGREDIENTS Tech Material 25
Tech Power 38
Tech Hardware 19
Tech Prototype 29
Tech Software 6
Expriemental Tech 9
Just checked the Prima guide and it's definitely a total of 50 hours in a PvP zone.
That explains why my SG has it as we have 3 badge collectors who have all the 5 hours badges which accounts fo 45 of those

Being in SG mode might be the difference..

I knew my sg were out of sg mode, gonna kill them 
Must admit I am very surprised not got it yet as used to pratically live there. I must have clocked up 50 hours in sirens by myself (in sg mode). I wonder if its bugged ...

1)
is there some 2ndary usage or effect im unaware of regarding AES, or is it just another of the odd stuff u can buy, that is not really worth its price?
for several months now, i have had the issue where i cant expand base more (equipment-wize) due to lack of power. ofcourse another build would mean less energy consumed, but is there anyway (locked component i suppose) we can get a energy-boost that is more interesting the the pointless +150 energy added by circuit breaker? we got dozens of diff alternatives when it comes to boosting our control, but none when it comes to energy.
atm im having 1 turbine generator + 2 circuit breakers... my control is maxed out as well, but that could easily be fixed if i could get more juice to power the +Control equipment... so far the only solution i came up with is to upgrade to secure plot (yay, cheapest secure plot is 11.25 mill) and add a 2nd turbine...
I must say that if this is the only way, the devs really need to re-think the base consume/produce ratio, since there is no way to build a base of larger magnitude with the present tools.
2)
what is the real point in AES-system? it produce alot of control, but eats tons of energy. it cant take aux (like mission computer). and for that price i could think of several diff ways to generate same amount of control, for less energy, and be able to connect my mission comp... i havent placed this unit yet, but i built it, and it looks like ill put it in the back of my personal items where other useless eqipment lies, never to be placed
note: i think there is one even greater energy producer than Turbine Generator (any1 know what to do to unlock it?) but still, we should be able to boost production as we can with control.
