Supply landing zones.

Supply Pads allow the firebase to receive a constant flow of Supplies from the

Spirit of Fire. These are vital logistical ports for UNSC combat operations. and

the force commander should carefully weigh the cost of delaying their

construction. To sustain high-tempo missions the Heavy Supply Pad upgrade is

needed, which accelerates Supply generation. Though important to the war

effort, too many Supply Pads can impede efficiency if they take the place of

unit-creating structures—you can't win a fight with just raw materials!

While some useful assets can be salvaged and tapped on the Ark's surface, the

bulk of the UNSC's supplies must still be delivered from the Spirit of Fire.

Sustaining combat operations on the Ark would be practically impossible

without the use of supply pads to quickly unload cargo from dropships and the

on-site direction of logisticians to efficiently redistribute the incoming food,

ammunition, spare parts, and power cells.
