shipbuilding Tech Comparison
Titan Frame Engineering vs Void Interceptor Doctrine III
Comparing the Titan Frame Engineering (Tier 4) and Void Interceptor Doctrine III (Tier 3), both shipbuilding 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 | Titan Frame Engineering | Void Interceptor Doctrine III |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | T4 | T3 |
| Research time | 60 | 6▼ |
| metal cost | 150,000 | 6,000▼ |
| crystal cost | 75,000 | 3,600▼ |
| antimatter cost | 1,000▼ | — |
| Effect | enables titan class: true | unlock ship: void-reaper |
▼ marks the lower resource / time cost. Cheaper isn't always better — weigh it against the effect each tech unlocks.
Titan Frame Engineering
Unlocks Titan-class warships — the largest buildable vessel class.
Unlocks buildings: titan shipyard
Unlocks ships: titan mk1
Requires: shipbuilding 3
Void Interceptor Doctrine III
Unlocks construction of the void-reaper (fighter class).
Unlocks ships: void reaper
Which Should You Research First?
The Void Interceptor Doctrine III is the lower-tier prerequisite step and typically comes first in the shipbuilding branch, opening the path toward Titan Frame Engineering.
