MISSION THREE - RIMTECH CAMPAIGN

Rimtech Mission 3 begins in the "Prebuild" phase where you may quickly build units and structures.  The "Prebuild" phase actually takes place on a tactical map aboard the drop ship approaching the landing site.  When the drop arrives to it's destination, all units and structures placed in Prebuild are "tight-beamed," or teleported to their designated positions.  Buildings that are Razed in Prebuild recover their entire Metajoule cost, since they haven't actually been built.  Only a fraction of the cost is recovered when friendly or enemy structures are razed during the actual missions.  It is always a good idea to build a lot of Hovertrucks during this phase to maintain a good flow of Metajoule intake from the lava pits.
