Revision as of 16:58, 6 February 2010

Wars are fought with technology, and technology is discovered through research. All research is done at your Research Lab, where you can improve your existing technologies, and discover new ones. Technologies do different things, such as improve units or unlock new technologies and ships. Once learned, technology is shared amongst all your planets.

Technologies

Laser tech.png
Laser Tech: The science of light, Laser Tech is used for advanced engines and weaponry. Research will unlock new units and technologies.
Requires: Energy tech.png 2
Armor tech.png
Armor Tech: Armor Technology makes your ships more durable. Each level researched adds 10% to your ships' and defenses' hull ratings.
Weapons tech.png
Weapons Tech: Weapons Technology is the science of destruction. Each level increases the power of all of your weapons by 10%
Shield tech.png
Shield Tech: Shield Tech allows your ships to take more punishment in battle. Each level researched will increase the shields on your ships and defenses by 10%.
Requires: Energy tech.png 3
Particle tech.png
Particle Tech: Particle Tech is the science of the atom. Research will unlock new forms of units and technology.
Requires: Laser tech.png 5 Energy tech.png 4
Jet drive.png
Jet Drive:An ancient technology that continues to be improved today, the Jet Drive powers small engines, missiles, and various other explosives. Each level of research will increase the speed of units powered by Jet Drives by 10%.
Requires: Energy tech.png 1
Ai tech.png
AI Tech: Advanced Artificial Intelligence technology is used by ships in battle. Each level researched will increase the maximum simultaneous fleets you can have by one.
