Ship Propulsion

How to use it

Increases the speed of every ship in your fleet and contributes to the Atlas gate. It opens after Dense Fuel Cells.

Each of four levels adds 25% of base ship speed. The final level doubles base speed. A mixed fleet uses its slowest ship’s speed. Prospectors and probes are unaffected. The increase applies to missions launched after research finishes.

Requirements & connections

Dense Fuel Cells level 1.

This project has 4 paid levels. 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: Atlas, Argosy.

Reference values

Each row is the separate cost of reaching that level. Research time uses your capital’s Core even when a colony pays the bill.
