Which buildings under the shields?

[Kahoot]

Here come another beginner question: which buildings is important to keep maximum protected close to HQ and under the shields? and why? I read someone write Squad Center? but why? and what about scout and research center etc are the also important and why? what will happen if research is in process and then attacked and destroyed? will research then have to start over again?

Make sure you squad centre is under a couple of overlapped shields. Reason being, if it is out in the open then the enemy will use air attacks (X wing or Tie Figher) to take out your squad centre before you defending troops have a chance to deploy.
Other buildings to shield are HQ (obviously because you dont want enemy to take that out too easy), and turrets. Once you have armory guard reserve equipment unlocked its also worth getting barracks under shields (for similar reason to the squad centre).
Scout tower and research centre can go anywhere on the map. Taking them out doesnt affect any research.

If research building is attacked it has no effect on your research progress.

On shielding of squad center and HQ your at a level that you probably haven't seen Kessen squad center snipes, or Tie Advanced/Tie fighter snipes, or those chicken shiit HQ snipes. But once you develop on through the game you will run into more talented players which will abuse you if you don't protect HQ and squad center. Go to youtube and search for Star Wars Commander videos specifically from Quantum Web/Dark Ra, ByDesign, or Dark Brigade. In those videos you will see many tactics that high level attackers use to bring big bases down.

Also, everything @Bacon told you is spot on …….very good advice.

thanks a lot both of you for good answer. i did not know that barraks should be under the shield and the troops wil come out and help in a defence. my own troops have never come out during my defence, and thats why i punish them hard by placing them outside as canon fodder;)

Troops wont come out of your barracks (or factories) until you a) build the armory once your HQ is level 6, then b) collect enough data fragments to unlock guard reserve equipment.
So until then no need to put barracks or factories under shields.

what about contraband house or armory building? should those be under the shield?

Yes your contraband safehouse should be undercover as people will target that the armoury you don't need it under a shield turret, Barracks, resource Vaults those are the buildings you do obviously once you're at level 6 for the barracks, Factories.

Contraband is not hard to come by on events. SERIOUSLY

at lower levels, if you want to protect resources you've gathered, then perhaps it makes sense to put some of those storage under shields.

but it's sooo easy in the game to do "viking raids" when you need resources (credits, alloy or contra) for upgrades that wasting shield space on them isn't worth the trouble.
