I imagine that if you have any more than 8 of these the planet is unconquerable. Not to mention (with all research done, and you get lucky with tactical slots and dual starbase artifact) the UNSC starbases, hangar defenses, and very likely fleet.
These will be controlled by the in-game superweapon mechanic, meaning there will be a hard limit to how many you can have in a map based directly on the number of planets you control. Odds are it will be something similar to 1 per 2 planets. You'll be able to place all of them wherever you like, but you won't have many even in large matches.
I can only imagine that you'll need 1 or 2 of these things where paired with a battery of regular magnetic accelerator platforms. Also wondering if these will have other defensive benefits compared to their 'little brothers', built in AA gus, a hanger bay, any abilities?

So this will be the UNSC "superweapon"? Not saying that like "wow that isn't impressive" but just asking if this is what that structure will be.
It won't replace the current mac platform right? its a new structure not a replacement?
New structure
and again that limit will also depend on the tactical capacity of a planet right?
Yes. It will cost tactical slots.
awesome. and I S'pose this is how the UNSC are answering the Covenant Patrol station
SMAC dat ***.
Impressive effects, by the way.
All batteries fire! Fire! Fire! Fire till last breathe!

They will have AA and likely to have some abilities.
