 ====== Ground Based Installations ======
+Ground based installations are military, or at least well defended, bases located on a planetary surface. They must be paid for with points much like a ship is, though there are a few differences.
+  * They obviously cannot have engines or FTL drives of any kind.
+  * They have a MASS size similar to a ship, but do not pay points for it.
+  * They have a Base Integrity, which is similar to Hull Integrity. The cost is 2 per point.
+Typical sizes for a base are:
+  * 50 - Small Outpost
+  * 100 - Medium Outpost
+  * 200 - Major base
+==== Core Systems ====
+Ground installations do not have a //command and control// core system. The //life support// system is only important on a planet with a hostile environment (such as vacuum, or non-breathable atmosphere).
+==== Systems ====
+=== Ground to Orbit Laser ===
+The ground to orbit laser has a Mass of 3, and costs 6 points. They do 2D6 damage like a beam weapon, and always have 3 arcs of fire (horizon to horizon from the planet's surface). They cannot be mounted on ships.
+The range band of a ground to orbit laser (GOL) is 15". It may be affected by atmosphere (TBD). //This is slightly longer than a ship-based beam weapon, to make it harder to sit back and bomb an installation from out of range.//
+Larger GOL classes double the mass and cost, and increment the damage and range.
+^ Class ^ Mass ^ Cost ^ 15" ^ 30" ^ 45" ^ 60" ^ 75" ^
+|  1    |  3   |  6   | 2D6 | 1D6 | --  | --  | --  |
+|  2    |  6   |  12  | 4D6 | 2D6 | 1D6 | --  | --  |
+|  3    |  12  |  24  | 6D6 | 4D6 | 2D6 | 1D6 | --  |
+|  4    |  24  |  48  | 8D6 | 6D6 | 4D6 | 2D6 | 1D6 |
+=== Artillery Defense ===
+Artillery Defence Systems come in //Light// and //Heavy// varieties. The latter have a longer range to force invasion forces to land further away.
+^ Class ^ Mass ^ Cost ^
+| Light |  1   |  4   |
+| Heavy |  2   |  6   |
+They can be used as PDS, in which case both are identical in how they work. Heavy artillery has a longer range against ground targets though.
