Research
Gravitic Charges
Gravitic Charges: Attack a defended world whose active Aegis absorbs at least 25% of your damage to unlock this research. The Nullifier hits shields five times harder.

How to use it
To unlock it, attack a defended world with an active Aegis; the shield must absorb at least 25% of your damage. A single Dart can qualify; you do not need to win. The Nullifier hits active shields five times harder.
Completing it permanently satisfies the specialist-research part of the Nullifier gate. The Nullifier is an answer to an active Aegis, not a general damage upgrade; its bonus shield damage never spills into ships or ground guns.
Requirements & connections
This project has 1 paid level. Completed research applies across your planets. Payment comes from the selected world’s Store. Funding from another world does not create another research queue. Started research cannot be cancelled.
Connections: Nullifier, Interception Grid, Strategic Stockpile.
