The Light Rail Gun is one of the two defensive towers immediately available to build. Upgrading the Central Computer will allow more Light Rail Guns to be built.
The Light Rail Gun has shorter range than the other defensive buildings, but is capable of shooting at Gunships. Keeping it upgraded is essential to keep it able to defend against increasingly powerful threats.
Due to the Light Rail Gun's limited range, the Rocket Pod can usually fire at it while avoiding any return fire. Protecting Light Rail Guns with Defensive Cannons or units can help stop this from happening.
