Heavy fleets stop moving like heavy fleets.
Makes battleships and heavy warships 30% faster per level.
Hyperspace Drive delivers the largest propulsion increase per level. It matters most once valuable warships need to arrive, reinforce or return quickly.
Battleships, Titan research and high-speed capital fleet operations.
🌌 Battleships and heavy warships gain +{pct}% speed.
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.
