Beamed Power (aka Tesla Tower)

[Drizzt321]

A thought that just occurred to me while reading Electric Energy Dev Proposal thread. Someone asked "what could you use that much power for" in response to a nuclear power plant giving off 1.3GW. My instant thought would be beamed power. Beamed power gives a certain radius that it can power (larger than Sub-Station) and initially all it can do is power buildings.

Second version allows building of a beamed power that will recharge bots (construction, logistic, military). However, it can only target X number of bots at a time. So in an area you have lots of logistics bots, if you want them to keep moving around and not having to go back to the Roboport to recharge, you'll need several of them at once. And maybe make a specialized beamed power which can recharge the character directly (when in range) which would, effectively, give the character a giant battery in a limited area. Super-fast shield recharge always in that area And if there is a future Rail gun/Laser gun that needs lots of power that could help as well.
