Research

Research is, as its name implies, researching for more powerful and better technology. There are several to be made, some of which are quite useful while others are for other purposes. Everyone starts off with their individual aspect of unique engineering (such as crystal lenses, or Small Terran Hull for Terran, and Aspha Corvette for A. Miner). Every race has Mega Project, Strafez Engineering, and Cyril Alloy, as well as the F-Class Ship. Paid Accounts may have more.

Basic Research
Basic Research includes not many needs, but are extremely important. They include the basic ships that one will build, such as the Aspha Frigate and Terran Hull, as well as the Neutrals such as F-Class and Cyril Alloy. The most important is the Mega Project, which allows one to research more projects. Each of them require turns, and Mega Project requires 75. The rest is advanced.

Advance Research
Some more advanced research includes the Destroy System, Upgrade System, and chain projects like the Space Programs I, II, III, IV, and V and System Defense I, II, III, IV, and V. Spy Recon and Sabotage are definitely necessary. Minister's Office and Minister Training Facility is a must, as ministers can give up to 70% attack and defensive and 9990% to income rate. Trust us, you would want to have one, two, or more (with a paid account).
