Revision as of 18:44, 23 January 2020

Research points are one of Galaxy Legions' resources, along with Artifact Points and Mining Points. Research Points are gained once an hour from planets that have research producing Structures, as well as from any Scientists hired onto your ship.

Research points can be spent gain new Equipment and Structures by researching the nine branches of the Research Tree.


Contents

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.
