Research
Starship Engineering
Starship Engineering: Engineering I opens Tier 3 hull permissions; Engineering II opens Tier 4. Individual hulls retain their system-research and Shipyard requirements.
How to use it
Engineering I opens Tier 3 hull permissions; Engineering II opens Tier 4. Individual hulls retain their system-research and Shipyard requirements.
Level 1 satisfies the engineering requirement for Tier 3 hulls. Level 2 does the same for Tier 4. Individual hulls may also need Power, Armor, Propulsion or Gravitic Charges. Their Shipyard level requirements still apply.
Requirements & connections
No prerequisite research.
This project has 2 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: Tempest, Ballista, Leviathan, Praetorian, Atlas, Nullifier, Garbage Collector, Cataclysm, Corsair, Citadel, Paladin, Argosy, Ship Power, Ship Armor.
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.
