Spy Technology
Spy Technology

Information about other planets and moons can be gained using this technology. At certain levels of Spy Technologies you get more information about foreign fleets on your Overview screen:

  • At level 0-1 you just see that the fleet is approaching your planet
  • At levels 2-3 you can see the number of ships approaching
  • At levels 4-7 you can see what type of ships are in the approaching fleet
  • At levels 8+ you can see how many of each type of ships is in the fleet
  • Computer Technology

    More fleets can be commanded by increasing computer capacities. Each level of computer technology increases the maximum number of fleets by one.

    Computer Technology
    Weapons Technology
    Weapons Technology

    Weapons technology makes weapons systems more efficient. Each level of weapons technology increases the weapon strength of units by 10 % of the base value.

    Shield Technology

    Shielding technology makes the shields on ships and defensive facilities more efficient. Each level of shield technology increases the strength of the shields by 10 % of the base value.

    Armour Technology
    Armour Technology

    Special alloys improve the armour on ships and defensive structures. The effectiveness of the armour can be increased by 10 % per level.

    Energy Technology

    The command of different types of energy is necessary for many new technologies. Additonally, each level of energy technology will also increase the efficiency of Deuterium Power Plant by increasing the amount of energy produced

    Energy Technology
    Hyperspace Technology
    Hyperspace Technology

    By integrating the 4th and 5th dimensions it is now possible to research a new kind of drive that is more economical and efficient.

    Combustion Engine

    The development of this drive makes some ships faster, although each level increases speed by only 10 % of the base value.

    Combustion Engine
    Impulse Engine
    Impulse Engine

    The impulse drive is based on the reaction principle. Further development of this drive makes some ships faster, although each level increases speed by only 20 % of the base value.

    Hyperspace Engine

    Hyperspace drive warps space around a ship. The development of this drive makes some ships faster, although each level increases speed by only 30 % of the base value.

    Laser Technology
    Laser Technology

    Focusing light produces a beam that causes damage when it strikes an object.

    Ion Technology

    A deadly beam of accelerated ions. This causes enormous damage when striking an object. Additonally, each level in Ion Technology will reduce Deconstruction costs by 4%

    Ion Technology
    Plasma Technology
    Plasma Technology

    A further development of ion technology which accelerates high-energy Plasma, a result of super-heating Ions. This has a devastating effect when striking an object.

    Intergalactic Research Network

    Researchers on different planets communicate via this network.

    Climate Research

    By advancing our understanding of atmospheric transformation, we will be able to make useful even the most ecologically devastated worlds.

    Climate Research
    World Manipulation Research
    World Manipulation Research

    To carefully shape and alter the ecosystem of an entire planet into something else is not so very different from an artist sculpting a statue out of clay. This research is unique because it increases permanently fields of planets across our empire.

    Tachyon Research

    Advanced sensors that rely on rotating tachyon beams to detect ship movements even at extreme distances.

    Tachyon Research
    Interstellar Logistics
    Interstellar Logistics

    By ensuring our fleets are regularly and efficiently supplied, we can increase the number of resources we can effectively transport.
