Newton Firezones
Newton Firezone command is used by Newton turrets to target a specific area. Setting a fire zone won't stop a turret set to fire at will from firing at enemies entering its range. It will realign to aim at the fire zone while idle. As a confirmation of fire zone setup, turrets will fire once at the center of chosen area. If a turret fails to do so, it might mean that the fire zone is obscured or unreachable. Any units entering a fire zone, including friendlies, will be targeted.
This command can be used to set up your turrets to target only a specific area of terrain (such as cliffs or edges of islands).
Ramp launchers
The main usage is the creation of ramp launchers. The strategy includes setting up a ramp using terraforming, and using a bunch of Newton turrets to launch your units behind enemy lines.
Depending on the unit's mass, you might require more Newton turrets. Not all units will be eligible to be "delivered" that way, as most will die from fall damage. The usual choice are Jumpbot Factory units, as most of them can negate fall damage by engaging their jump jets before landing. Lead units in one by one, as otherwise they may be launched either by not every turret at once (providing insufficient force), or from a wrong location (and be launched into the wrong direction, respectively).
