Gameplay
This is an advanced resource provision structure. It is very late game ( tier 4, it requires that a signal transmitter has been built ) and is also very expensive. It also has a build limit of one. However it is highly recommended that you build this structure, especially if you feel that it is going to be a long game.
In terms of the amount of resources that this structure provides, it's the same amount and rate as the income from having 2 Tiberium spikes. In view of this fact, the price might seem excessive, however the understanding is that since you can place this structure anywhere within your base, you will place it in a well guarded area that would be very difficult for your enemy to breach.
The deposit amount of $50 every 1 second means that the structure will pay for itself within 80 seconds!
In the late game, especially if all the Tiberium spikes have been destroyed ( or on a stage with no spikes ), you will easily be able to out build your opponent.
So it goes without saying that if you are up against a Scrin opponent, this structure is a key target. The structure does not have a lot of health, so if your opponent was lazy with their placement and the structure is poorly guarded, do not hesitate to take it out!
Conversely if you are the Scrin player who believes that your Nexus is about to be targeted, consider selling the structure, not only are you denying your enemy experience points, but also the $2000 that you will get from selling a full health Nexus could make a lot of difference in the late game.
If you do not believe that you will be able to adequately protect your Nexus, do not build it, spend the credits on something else.
If you can somehow combine a Nexus, together with Growth accelerators on 'safe' tiberium fields, it will be very difficult for your opponent not be overwhelmed, either by sheer numbers, or high technology!
If you are facing a Scrin opponent, make sure you never give them any rest!
