quantum computing Tech Comparison
Quantum Entanglement Comms vs Quantum Predictive Targeting
Comparing the Quantum Entanglement Comms (Tier 3) and Quantum Predictive Targeting (Tier 4), both quantum computing 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 Entanglement Comms | Quantum Predictive Targeting |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | T3 | T4 |
| Research time | 28▼ | 60 |
| metal cost | 50,000▼ | 100,000 |
| crystal cost | 30,000▼ | 60,000 |
| dark matter cost | 500▼ | 2,000 |
| Effect | removes command delay: true; +15% combat reaction speed | +25% fleet accuracy; +15% -enemy evasion |
▼ marks the lower resource / time cost. Cheaper isn't always better — weigh it against the effect each tech unlocks.
Quantum Entanglement Comms
Instantaneous command and control using entangled particle pairs. Removes fleet command delay and grants +15% reaction speed in combat.
Unlocks buildings: quantum comms array
Requires: science 4
Quantum Predictive Targeting
Quantum probability engines calculate enemy ship trajectories before they happen. +25% fleet accuracy, -15% enemy evasion.
Unlocks buildings: predictive targeting core
Requires: quantum 1, science 4
Which Should You Research First?
The Quantum Entanglement Comms is the lower-tier prerequisite step and typically comes first in the quantum computing branch, opening the path toward Quantum Predictive Targeting.
