In response to Anir, this is infact a counter to porc. proper porc relies on well placed and well defended strong points.Thus in a full game, It would be needed to be spammed everywhere, whereas a line of stingers are cheap, a single costal fort is much costlier but provides a focal point of defence. The purpose of prefab bases is to provide a strong fort in critical areas, like a forward command post or a fort on a vital beach. These bases aren't really spammable as they are to costly for that, but still enable people to defend vital choke points. As well, each has its own weakness, the mark 1 isn't that powerful and some aritlery can defeat it, the mark 2 is average and well rounded but any dedicated assault can wipe it out, while the mark 3 is prone to being flanked and have its power shutdown. Also, these types of bases are meant to be flanked and avoided. The purpose is that that if you build one, you can either ensure your enemy has to use his whole army to bust through one or deploy his around the base.

As for FFC, I dont believe its too much of a metal investment, a Mark 1 or 2 is all you really need so 5000 metal to create a solid base that can repel normal enemy raids is worth it. As for investing in eco, in any case that argument can be made for anything, why invest in anything other then eco? These bases are just meant to be a cheaper and better alternative to building porc everywhere.

edit: think of it like a force multiplier, you want to force the enemy to fight your army near one of these.

edit 2: and like all forms of static defences, the best counter is tactical nukes and emp missiles.

edit 3: In response to your remark, that is the intended goal, to make the package cheaper then the sum of its parts, actually the last ones real cost stis somewhere along the 30k metal but a massive discount is implemented to make it feasible but still effective.
