Description
Establishes stable propellant handling, target seekers, and guidance protocols for practical ship-launched rockets and torpedoes.
Benefits
Reveals later technologies and strategic combinations.
Strategy notes
Guided Ordnance Fundamentals gives a young empire its first dedicated Rockets research discipline. It opens the path to guided missiles and torpedoes without requiring investment in a separate military branch first. Its immediate value is access to later Rockets technologies and strategic combinations. The principal counterpressure is that missile development competes directly with beam and heavy-ordnance programs for early research capacity.
Player hints
Research this foundation to begin the Rockets branch. Once it reaches its first breakthrough, early guided-rocket and torpedo projects become available.
