| I don't get it. What's the point to this technology other than to make the turret and a ship or 2? Does it upgrade all your ships' weapons? | |

| for plasma tech and hyperspace tech and ion tech you only need to go so far with upgrading them.
for ion tech= lvl5 (unlocks plasma) hyper tech = lvl6 (unlocks deathstar) plasma = lvl 7 (unlocks plasma turret) laser = lvl 12 (unlocks battlecruiser)
anything over these levels is just pointless. well...some people get them so its easy research points/ranks and you cant lose them if someone invades.... but i cbb.
oh, and for energy, energy production rates are increased (at least for the reactor), so thats not so pointless.
obviously it might be wise to unlock these (eventually) to full... plasma turrets and deathstars are THE best there are for their type... hope that helped | |

| oh ya, i dont expect to go overboard with researching, I was just more curious to see if it effected all my weapon systems, but if it's just a research to build better defensive and offensive structures, then that's fine, I'll get around to it, I should have my first plasma by tomorrow | |

| nope... keep getting them:) They become rather expensive though in the end, and at some point it might just be worth more to you to simply get ships for the ress instead... Depends on your fleetsize of course:) | |

Does it upgrade all your ships' weapons? You need technology for pritty much everything in the game | |

| I think if you aren't planning to build defences then obviously there is no point in researching it. That said, plasma turrets pack one mean punch so are quite useful. | |

That could be skipped if you don't mind waiting weeks and months for research though I guess. | |
