More operations at the same time.
Adds one simultaneous fleet slot per level and supports advanced command infrastructure.
Computer Technology is an action-economy upgrade. Every level adds a fleet slot, so a larger empire can move resources and fleets without waiting for earlier missions to return.
More concurrent transports, raids, deployments and expeditions; later it gates Science Ships and the Research Network.
💻 +1 simultaneous fleet slot per level.
Research time depends on the Research Laboratory level, the Intergalactic Research Network and the universe speed.
Each level multiplies the previous cost by ×2, so each further level gets steadily more expensive the further you push it.
