Quantum Logistics Network vs Fleet Resupply Tenders
Comparing the Quantum Logistics Network (Tier 4) and Fleet Resupply Tenders (Tier 3), both logistics technologies in Starforge MMO. Use this to decide which to queue first when your research lab can only run one project at a time.
Research Comparison
| Attribute | Quantum Logistics Network | Fleet Resupply Tenders |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | T4 | T3 |
| Research time | 75 | 14▼ |
| metal cost | 120,000 | 25,000▼ |
| crystal cost | 60,000 | 12,000▼ |
| dark matter cost | 2,000▼ | — |
| credits cost | 200,000▼ | — |
| Effect | instant resource transfer: true; +100% -transit time | +50% -return to base cooldown |
▼ marks the lower resource / time cost. Cheaper isn't always better — weigh it against the effect each tech unlocks.
Quantum Logistics Network
Quantum-tunneled freight pods transfer resources between colonies near-instantly, eliminating transit delays empire-wide.
Unlocks buildings: quantum freight hub
Requires: logistics 8, logistics 9
Fleet Resupply Tenders
Support ships resupply combat fleets in the field, reducing return-to-base cooldown by 50%.
Unlocks ships: tender mk1
Requires: logistics 2
Which Should You Research First?
The Fleet Resupply Tenders is the lower-tier prerequisite step and typically comes first in the logistics branch, opening the path toward Quantum Logistics Network.
