Strategy notes
Protected Refueling Corridors develops the Fuel discipline within Missile Siege Fleet. Project sustained long-range force through guided ordnance, heavy siege missiles, and protected fuel logistics. Its immediate value is -5% fleet wages; +5% fleet fuel range. 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 a major commitment. Secure its required resources and protect the supporting infrastructure before assigning Critical priority. Favor this technology when its Fuel 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. Fuel-range bonuses add together: these six logistics technologies grant up to +30%, including tender-supported range. The purple map layer shows the same range used for fuel readiness.
