Autonomous Expert System
Overview
This is the third, the largest and most powerful of the Tech Control main items (also called 'primary' or 'core'), that generate Control in a Supergroup Base.
The AES, along with the corresponding Tier 3 Power Source, the Fusion Generator represents the culmination of a Supergroup achievements in Tech Base Construction; many Base Architects regard them as the 'Crown Jewels' of the Base; these Systems are intended to be used by large -and typically PvP-oriented - supergroups with extensive bases and energy requirements. Of course, to go with such requirements, the cost and badge to unlock it are both rather extreme, as well as the required area in base to house the unit or units.
Description
This computer uses the latest experimental technology and software to create a true synthetic intelligence. While its function is limited to security systems, the processing ability of this AI is such that it can handle all but the most demanding base needs.

Notes:
- Requires Communication Center 1 or Larger Control Room
- Before Issue 13, this item did not allow any auxiliary items other than the Mission Computer. This has since been fixed.
- The AES requires a full 4x2 'squares' of room, and it's roughly 24 ft. height (or, about half of the room height when set to the lowest floors and highest ceiling)
- Due to its large size, it can be somewhat unwieldy to place. Plan your room ahead of time to avoid unnecessary rework.
