Frontier Logistics
Frontier Logistics is Exploration and Industry frontier-supply research. It improves how long-range expedition fleets stage cargo, reserve fuel, and route salvage ships through deep space.
Cost & Requirements
| Resource | Base Cost |
|---|---|
| Metal | 70,000 |
| Crystal | 90,000 |
| Deuterium | 50,000 |
Cost factor: 1.75x per level.
| Requirement | Level |
|---|---|
| Research Lab | 6 |
| Computer Technology | 4 |
| Plasma Technology | 1 |
Effects
Each level gives:
- Expedition, Harvest, and Deploy fuel cost: -2% per level
- Expedition rewards: +2% per level
- Wayfinder, Recycler, and Reaper cargo capacity: +5% per level
The cargo bonus stacks with Hyperspace Technology, but only on Wayfinders, Recyclers, and Reapers.
Notes
- The fuel discount applies to launch fuel for Expedition, Harvest, and Deploy missions.
- The expedition reward bonus improves positive expedition reward outcomes.
- Other ships do not receive the Frontier Logistics cargo-capacity bonus.
- Material Physics remains an Industry-style construction efficiency research rather than Explorer frontier progression.
