Description
Advanced Propulsion Systems Technology improves the propulsion mechanisms, allowing rockets and torpedoes to travel faster and farther.
Benefits
Fuel upkeep Empire-wide-0.67%
Fleet speed Empire-wide+1.33%
Space attack Empire-wide+4%
Strategy notes
Advanced Propulsion Systems develops the Rockets discipline within Missile Siege Fleet. Project sustained long-range force through guided ordnance, heavy siege missiles, and protected fuel logistics. Its immediate value is +30% Space Attack, +10% Speed; -5% Fuel Consumption. The principal counterpressure is that point defense, fast interception, ammunition raids, and attacks on slow supply fleets can break the siege.
Player hints
This is an inexpensive path entry. Research it early when you want to test this direction without sacrificing strategic flexibility. Favor this technology when its Rockets benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects.
