	~~== Description ==~~		'''Research''' costs no resources to perform, and can be paused and resumed at any time, at no cost.

	~~'''~~Research~~''' costs nothing to do, and can be cancelled at no cost with~~ the ~~Cancel Research button at~~ the ~~top of~~ the ~~screen. However~~, ~~doing so will waste all~~ the time ~~that has been spent so far on researching that technology~~.		Research takes longer the higher up the branch you are. For example, the level 2 travel time research, warpgate, takes 3200 research points to complete, whereas the level 1 travel time research, jumpgate, requires only 1600.

	Research ~~takes longer the higher up the branch you are. For example, level 2 travel time takes 32 ticks, whereas the first travel time research takes 16.~~ Research ~~times can be modified by building the appropriate~~ [[~~Constructions~~ \| ~~Construction~~]] (~~Research Laboratories)~~, ~~by setting 'research' as~~ a ~~priority for~~ [[~~Engineers~~]], ~~or by capturing~~ the ~~Golden Research Asteroid~~ (~~reduces time by 5%~~).		==Research speed==
			Research speed is dependent on a number of factors:
			* Number of [[Structure#Research laboratories\|research laboratories] as compared to your total number of structures (maximum 20%, for a 20% speed increase)
			* Percentage of [[population]] assigned to research (maximum 50%, for a 50% speed increase)
			* Your [[race]] ([[Cathaar]] start with the highest research speed, [[Xandathrii]] with the lowest)
			* Your [[government]] (Currently, corporatism is the lowest, democracy is the highest)

	~~The~~ research ~~lab bonus is determined by what percentage of your constructions are research labs. The maximum such bonus is 20%~~.		Your research can be set back through a [[Covert operation#Hacking: Science Database\|covert operation]].

	The [[Waves\| ~~tech~~ scan]] will reveal what technology your target has.		The [[Waves#Development scan\|development scan]] will reveal what technology your target has.

	~~Research limits are the major method of restricting [[free accounts]]~~.

	== Available research areas ==		== Available research areas ==
			There are seven fields of research in [[Planetarion]].
			===Space travel===
			Travel time research reduces the time it takes for your fleets to travel outside of your [[galaxy]]. At level 4, this reduces your travel time by 4 ticks.

	===~~Travel~~===		===Infrastructure===
			Infrastructure research improves your infrastructure, increasing the limit on constructions. At level 4 you can build 250 [[structures]].
	~~Improve the time it takes for your fleets to travel outside of your [[galaxy]]~~

	~~===Constructions===~~

	~~Improve~~ your infrastructure ~~so you can have more [[~~constructions]]

	~~===Ships===~~

	~~Improve your ship research , so~~ you can ~~have better ships~~

	~~===Scanning===~~

	~~Improve your [[waves]] research, so more types of~~ [[~~scans~~]] ~~are available~~.

	~~===Core Mining===~~

	~~An additional source of income for your planet~~

	~~===Spying Techniques===~~

	~~Improve your~~ [[~~covert operations~~]] , ~~so more types~~ of ~~operation are~~ available		===Hulls===
			Bull research allows you to build more [[Ship class\|classes]] of [[ship]]. Each of the 3 levels grants access to 2 classes of ships (fighters and corvettes, then frigates and destroyers and finally cruisers and battleships). Regardless of the class, [[Ship Type#Structure killer\|structure killers]] will always become available at the third and last level of hull research. In order to build ships, you need one or more [[Structure#Light factory\|factories]] factories.

	===~~Cargo transfers~~===		===Waves===
			Each level of research in the [[waves]] branch grants a new type of scan. The waves branch has seven levels. You can only perform scans if you have one or more [[Structure#Wave amplifier\|amps]].

	~~Improve your~~ [[~~asteroid~~]] ~~mining management systems, so~~ you ~~can handle the mining~~ of ~~more asteroids~~		===Core extraction===
			Each level of research in this branch grants you additional income from [[Resources\|core mining]]. At level 4 you extract 12000 of each resource per tick. Core extraction is immune to incoming.

	== ~~Advantages/Disadvantages~~ ==		===Covert ops===
			Each level of covert ops research grants access to a new [[covert operation]]. There are 7 levels of covert ops research. You need [[Covert operation#Agents\|\|agents]] in order to undertake operations.

	~~Certain races have an advantage / disadvantage when it comes to research, see the~~ [[~~Race~~]] ~~page for further information~~.		===Asteroid mining===
			You can only mine 100 [[asteroid]]s without research in this field. Every level of heavy cargo transfers increases this limit. There are 15 levels of research in this field and the highest level allows mining from 10000 asteroids.
