The upcoming update will introduce the ability to anchor units to the ground. Anchored units are completely immovable, and thus can be effectively used as static defense. The update is scheduled for September 6th.
Anchors and Mounts
The anchoring process starts with the new special building called Mount. Mounts can be constructed on standard build pads, and they serve as bases for anchored units.
In order to be able to use the mounts, a unit will need to have an Anchor module. When anchored, units become completely immovable, and thus will no longer experience recoil, or be susceptible to ramming. Additionally, anchored units are automatically repaired, recharged, and restocked via their mounts.
Anchored units are a good option for base defense; though because they are immobile, and cannot be detached instantly, they might require support from mobile units in many situations.
