Description

Alien communications rely on a supra-dimensional wave which travels almost instantaneously. This relay should allow us to trace the source of these communications.

Notes

Research Required	Hyperwave Beacon
Manpower Required	N/A
Base Costs	§175, 10 Alloys, 1 Hyperwave Beacon
Power	4

Build Time	14 days
Provides	see notes
Adjacency Bonus	N/A

The Hyperwave Relay, like the Hyperwave Decoder/Transmission Resolver from previous games, is an intelligence facility that reveals details of enemy craft.
Unlike the advanced detection devices from previous games, it is not a replacement for your previous infrastructure. Keep those satellites running, Commander.
The Relay, once it is constructed, will reveal the mission profile and crew size of a target UFO. It will also show you which alien races are present.
- However, if more than 7 types of aliens are present on the craft then it will not show them, leaving you with some unexpected surprises.
The Hyperwave Relay is also required to locate the invisible Overseer UFO, a task necessary to continue the storyline. It will do so anywhere between a few hours and a few weeks after construction.
Once constructed, it cannot be torn down: as a permanent structure, put it somewhere where it's not going to block any adjacency bonuses you may want.
