Da Listenin' Post

Used by Orks to reinforce captured Strategic Points.

Note: Da Listenin' Post only regenerates Hitpoints when not in combat.

Tactics

Build Da Listenin' Posts on captured Strategic Points and Relics to improve requisition gained by +6 ( +12 total for the point) and provide a greater sight radius of the surrounding area (though it still relies on the Strategic Points base detection range for infiltrated units). In addition when the Da Listenin' Post has finished construction you are given a gift of 50 . This means that the listening post will have paid for itself just under 67 seconds after it has been finished.

You can also upgrade Da Listenin' Posts for 100 75  which further improves requisition gained by another +6 ( +18 total) and adds a useful point-defense gun which is effective on infantry. This time the upgrade takes nearly 3 minutes just to pay for its requisition costs so it should only be done if you expect to hold the point for a while or you want the turret that the upgrade provides. This is less necessary for Orks, because unlike other Listening Posts, Da Listenin' Posts are equipped with guns even before being upgraded.

Upon reaching Tier 2 you can upgrade Da Listenin' Posts again for 250 145  to improve requisition gained +6 ( +24 total), increase the health of the Post by 1225 and greatly improve the Da Listenin' Post's range and damage. However this upgrade would take about 7 minutes to pay for its own requisition costs so the point should only be upgraded to this state if you need the improved health and weapon it provides.
