Description
Neutron Star Propulsion Technology employs the extreme energy of neutron stars to propel spacecraft, enabling near-instantaneous acceleration.
Benefits
Fuel cost Empire-wide-1.06%
Strategic materials cost Empire-wide-0.53%
Shield strength Empire-wide+2.12%
Fleet speed Empire-wide+8.28%
Strategy notes
Neutron Star Propulsion develops the Propulsion discipline within Fast Strike Fleet. Use propulsion, precise energy weapons, and tactical sensing to choose engagements and destroy priority targets quickly. Its immediate value is +65% Speed; +20% Shields; +13% Speed. The principal counterpressure is that fuel interdiction, layered defenses, ambushes, and forced prolonged battles erode its speed advantage.
Player hints
This is a specialization milestone. Reaching it reveals stronger combinations, but broad tier-three investment will slow every capstone. Favor this technology when its Propulsion 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.
