Description
Reality Manipulation Engines Technology alters reality itself to achieve propulsion, allowing for unbounded speed and maneuverability.
Benefits
Power output Empire-wide+4.8%
Fleet speed Empire-wide+11.2%
Strategy notes
Reality Manipulation Engines 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 +70% Speed; +30% Power. The principal counterpressure is that fuel interdiction, layered defenses, ambushes, and forced prolonged battles erode its speed advantage.
Player hints
This is a major commitment. Secure its required resources and protect the supporting infrastructure before assigning Critical priority. 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.
