Research is one of Galaxy Legions' resources, it is gained through planets that have research producing [[Structures]] and your Scientists hired onto your ship. Research is used to gain new [[Equipment]] and [[Structures]] by "researching" the nine research trees. These being....

Research Points {{RP}} are one of Galaxy Legions' resources, along with [[GL Interface Trade Tab|Artifact Points]] and [[GL Interface Trade Tab|Mining Points]].
-
----

 +
You will gain Research Points {{RP}}, once every hour up to your [[Resource_Storage#Research_Points_Storage|Research Points Storage]] capacity. 
 +
 
 +
Research points can be spent gain new [[Equipment]] and [[Structures]] by researching technologies from the nine branches of the [[Research Tree]], accessed via the [[GL_Interface_Research_Tab]].   Certain [[Missions]] will also require the expenditure of {{RP}}.

By researching this Research Tree branch one will gain access to new and better [[Weapons]] for one's ship, [[Bases#Turrets|Turrets]] for one's [[Bases|base]] and minefields for one's planets. The player begins with [[Weapons|Auto Cannon]] as their basic weapon this weapon requires no research in this tree. If there are planet modules for a particular tier, the player gets access to those at the same time as the first ship weapon on that tier. If there are base modules for a tier, the player gets those at the same time as the second ship weapon on that tier.

By researching this Research Tree branch one will gain access to new and better [[Shields]] and [[Bases#Grids|Grids]]. Upon beginning the game, you do NOT have access to any shield modules/structures. Upgrades to the shields are available through this tree. If there are planet or base modules for a particular tier, the player gets access to those as well upon completion of the first level of that tier.

Research Points

Research Points research.pngRP are one of Galaxy Legions' resources, along with Artifact Points and Mining Points.

You will gain Research Points research.pngRP, once every hour up to your Research Points Storage capacity.

Research points can be spent gain new Equipment and Structures by researching technologies from the nine branches of the Research Tree, accessed via the GL_Interface_Research_Tab. Certain Missions will also require the expenditure of research.pngRP.

Research Tree

Advanced Weapons

By researching this Research Tree branch one will gain access to new and better Weapons for one's ship, Turrets for one's base and minefields for one's planets. The player begins with Auto Cannon as their basic weapon this weapon requires no research in this tree. If there are planet modules for a particular tier, the player gets access to those at the same time as the first ship weapon on that tier. If there are base modules for a tier, the player gets those at the same time as the second ship weapon on that tier.
