Right now, any player can quickly expand his or her base by building lots of power plants and building out in a particular direction. For allies, this is actually an effective offensive move, as the turret is priced low enough and builds fast enough to be built along with the power plants.

Possible solutions proposed:

* Lower the firepower / armor of the turret and/or increase the cost / build time
* Create a reasonable maximum range from a Construction Yard that buildings can be built
* Introduce a cap on number of buildings that can be supported by a single construction yard

Any other ideas?
