=============================================
Narritive Justifications:
Sometimes you might notice shrunken units not unshrinking corrently, this is due to global warming. Remember to recycle kids! There should be a comma in that last sentense, put it wherever you what ;)
Constripts have use magical moltove coctails which allow them to walk on water.
The peace keepers use future tech anti gravity shiels which only work above the sea.
Japanese warriors use nano swords which allow them to traverse the oceans.
Shogun Battlestars when they return to sea have inertia dampeners, that's why they don't receive damage then they hit the water at all full. This is also why there are no giant waves either. This technology is also used in MCV deployment.
Dreadnought missle explosions chemically create H2O when they explode due to the advanced missile density required to launch at that altitude.
Shogun Battlestars use FTW drives which allow it to traverse both air and sea.
The spy now uses new future tech technology such as the advanced butter knife which allows it to morph into structures.
The reason why you can't repair the Fortress Power Core normally is due to the circle of life. FYI you can always just use an engineer or a GLOBAL Health Crate.
