Strategy[]
Fission Turret can provide you one attack each turn throughout its 5 Lifespan. Its Ability gets you a burst of 3 green for the cost of 
3 energy through self-sacrifice.
Fission Turret's 
Gold and tech cost is rather similar to a Tarsier, with one green instead of one 
red. However, Fission Turret has a lifespan of 5 instead of Tarsier's 
2 build time.
Generally, the best use of a Fission Turret would be to let it attack each turn and use its Ability the turn before it dies due to Lifespan. You have to make sure to have 3 energy at your disposal for this specific turn. Therefore, Fission Turret has good synergy with Engineer producing units, such as Hellhound or Sentinel.
Fission Turret's Ability gives you the green for one high green cost units like Asteri Cannon or Cluster Bolt on a single Conduit. In sets with such units, you might want to buy one Fission Turret each turn to be able to continuously pop them. It also makes Forcefield very efficient, as the essentially free comes for a loss of 1 or so at most, Engineers are non efficient soak.
Fission Turret can also be use as a fast source of damage at any point in the game when you want to put pressure on your opponent immediately even if you do not plan on using its ability.
