Precision Fleet strategy
Strategy notes
Predictive Fleet Tracking develops the Sensing discipline within Reconnaissance and Espionage. Win information asymmetry through persistent observation, covert access, and fleets that act on fresh intelligence. Its immediate value is +5% research output. The principal counterpressure is that counterintelligence, deception, compartmentalization, and cheap decoys can waste its expensive collection network.
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 Sensing 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.
