Description
Distributed Targeting Mesh lets scouts and attackers share precise tracks without one vulnerable command ship. Use propulsion, precise energy weapons, and tactical sensing to choose engagements and destroy priority targets quickly.
Benefits
Fleet speed Empire-wide+4%
Precision Fleet strategy
Strategy notes
Distributed Targeting Mesh develops the Sensing 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 +4% fleet 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 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. Unlocks Precision strategy (+30% sensing, +10% firepower, -10% shields).
