Overview

The Headquarters is your command center: it produces Engineers, generates a little power, and is the building you lose the game without. If it falls, a surviving Engineer can rebuild it.

How to use

Start every match by queuing two or three Engineers and sending them to deposits and power. The HQ's own power covers only the first extractor or so, so a Power Plant comes early. Ring it with turrets facing the enemy's approach, and keep a Radar or drone watching for bombers, which love an unguarded HQ.

Counters

Bombers, artillery, MLRS and battleships all do multiplied damage to structures. It defends itself with nothing; the base defends it.
