In the game, Corporation Technology plays a vital role in the progression and success of your Corp. As you unlock and research new technologies, your Corp gains various benefits that can greatly enhance its capabilities. Let’s dive into how Corp technology works and how you can leverage your Corporation Inventory to fuel your research.
Corporation Technology: Unlocking New Possibilities
Corporation Technology allows your Corp to unlock powerful advancements, ranging from enhanced capabilities to new building structures. Both the CEO and Director of the Corp have the authority to research Corporation Technology, so leadership is key in driving these upgrades.
However, to access these technologies, you must meet certain prerequisites. One crucial requirement is having a Level 7 Homebase. Once your Homebase reaches this level, you will be able to construct structures on the Map, providing further opportunities.
Researching Corporation Technology consumes resources from the Corporation Inventory, a pool of materials gathered by your Corp. This means that you’ll need to plan your research efforts carefully to ensure that the necessary resources are available.
The Corporation Inventory: Fuel for Research
The Corporation Inventory is essential for advancing Corporation Technology. It stores the resources needed to research new tech, and these resources can be accumulated in two main ways:
-
Donations from Corp Members: Your Corp members can contribute resources to the inventory, pooling their efforts to support research and development. It’s a community effort that encourages collaboration and teamwork.
-
Ransom from Captured Chief Commanders: If your Corp has successfully captured enemy Chief Commanders, you can ransom them for additional resources to fuel your technology research.
You can build the following structures with Corp Tech:
- Sensor Array
When a fleet from a non-friendly Corp enters a 2 Grid range of the Weapon Battery, it will engage in combat with it - Logistic Array
Logistic Array increases the capacitor recharge speed of nearby corporation member fleets. They also slowly repair damaged ships in the fleet. - Capacitor Efficiency
Reduces the Capacitor consumption for fleets of your Corp members - Capacity Recovery
Increases the Capacitor recovery speed for the fleets of your Corp members - Structure Reinforcement
Increases the HP cap for your Corp structures and captured Stations - Emergency Construction
Increases the amount limit for your Corp structures and captured Stations
The research of any Corp Tech would consume resources in the Corporation Inventory.
