Research

Here are the following technologies to research:

  • Combat
  • Defense
  • Ship designs
  • Planetary Improvements
  • Propulsion
  • Electronics

Each of them has 10 levels. Each level can have multiple sub level. At least half(Rounded down) of each level must be studied before moving to next level. Sublevels can be research only from current level. There can be also rare technology which are acquired via special means. Usually by exploring the space anomalies. Once rare tech is founded it is possible to gain next level also by doing regular research.
