| Support Power | Gallery | Changelog |
The Kingsnakes are next-generation attack jets utilizing chrono technology used by the United States. They are deployed via a support power, available from the Experimental Warpshop as long as an Air Force Command Headquarters is present as well.
The support power creates a portal in the sky that spawns a Kingsnake - the jet patrols the vicinity, attacking hostiles with missiles and laser guns similarly to the Stormchild. As long as the portal is present, the Kingsnake will be quickly replaced if destroyed. Similar to Chronolift, however, the Kingsnake portal can only be opened within a large radius around the Experimental Warpshop or a small radius around a Warpnode, and cannot attack any structures, limiting its use to defensive purposes.
The portal itself cannot be attacked, and will not disappear if there's at least one supporting structure exists. The only way to terminate a Kingsnake portal prematurely is to depower its user, or to disable/destroy the Warpshop and all Warpnodes.
This support power is truly unique to the United States, it cannot be unlocked by other factions even if they manage to obtain all of its prerequisites.
