Research

The Research Facility can be built on your private star base. Only one Research Lab per account is allowed.

You will need to buy the blueprint for a Research Facility from the contract boards at a NPC space stations (SS).

It will require 150 Aluminum, 300 Iron, 10 Titanium, 10 Carbon, 10 Mechanical Parts and 10 Electronics to construct.

Currently you can:

Research New Blueprint for a shipyard.

Research Fusion Power Plant to increase SB production.

Research New Blueprint to use at SB shipyard.

Research the blueprint fragments obtained through wreckage salvaging.

Research Upclass on existing blueprints. Upclassing a blueprint will allow you to build the next higher class of module.

Research Improved Production for factories, farms and mines.

Research time for upclassing is the level times 24 hours. So upclassing a blueprint from 4 to 5 would take 4 days. -same goes for enhance production

Research from a blueprint fragment takes approximately 24 hours.

Every Level of improvement to a land based building will give the item a plus 10% productivity on the basic rate, ie level 10 would be +100% = double productivity.

The Improvements are not automatically applied to existing buildings but need to be 'built' onto existing buildings as an upgrade and will require materials to complete.

Blueprints can be obtained in Janus A after completing the first two combat missions and at Deep-6 after completing the tutorial. Many blueprints do not show up unless the player has enough credits to purchase them.
