Explanation for Power needs of Laser Tanks
I'm not sure if there's an official explanation out there, but I think I have a good reason why Townes' Laser Tanks need the base to have power. Perhaps it would have cost too much to have the reactors needed to power their lasers built into the tank, so they have to receive energy from the base's reactors via a microwave energy link. So if the base is low on power, there would be no energy to be beamed to the tanks in the field.
