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. Once your specialization tree opens section 2, the only direct requirement is Research Lab 7.

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
