Hyperspace Technology

Hyperspace Technology increases cargo capacity and enables advanced propulsion research.

Overview

Property Value
Type Advanced Technology
Lab Notes Research Lab level affects speed only
Effect +5% cargo capacity per level
Prerequisites Research Lab 7, plus the section 2 unlock requirement (8 cumulative section 1 levels)

Description

Understanding hyperspace physics allows for more efficient cargo bay design through dimensional compression. It also enables research into Hyperspace Drive and Jump Gates.

Effect

Cargo Bonus

Cargo Capacity = Base Cargo * (1 + 0.05 * Hyperspace Tech Level)

Cargo Multiplier

Level Cargo Multiplier
0 100%
1 105%
5 125%
10 150%
15 175%
20 200%

Unlocks

Hyperspace Technology enables:

Level Unlocks
3 Hyperspace Drive research
7 Jump Gate building

Research Costs

Formula

Metal = 4,000 * 2^Level
Crystal = 0
Deuterium = 2,000 * 2^Level

Cost Table

Level Metal Deuterium
1 4,000 2,000
2 8,000 4,000
3 16,000 8,000
5 64,000 32,000
7 256,000 128,000

Cargo Impact

Example: Large Cargo

Hyperspace Level Cargo Capacity
0 25,000
5 31,250
10 37,500
15 43,750
20 50,000

Fleet Impact

With 100 Large Cargos at Level 10:

  • Base: 2,500,000 capacity
  • With HT10: 3,750,000 capacity
  • Extra: 1,250,000 resources per trip

Strategy

Priority Levels

  • Level 3: Unlock Hyperspace Drive
  • Level 7: Unlock Jump Gate
  • Level 10+: Significant cargo bonus

Resource Hauling

Higher levels mean:

  • Fewer trips needed
  • More efficient raiding
  • Better fleetsaving capacity

Combat Synergy

More cargo = more loot from raids:

  • Destroy enemy fleet
  • Take more resources
  • Fewer cargo ships needed
