shipbuilding Tech Comparison
Titan Frame Engineering vs Void Stealth Carrier IV
Comparing the Titan Frame Engineering (Tier 4) and Void Stealth Carrier IV (Tier 4), 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 Stealth Carrier IV |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | T4 | T4 |
| Research time | 60 | 8▼ |
| metal cost | 150,000 | 12,000▼ |
| crystal cost | 75,000 | 7,200▼ |
| antimatter cost | 1,000 | 200▼ |
| Effect | enables titan class: true | unlock ship: ghost-carrier |
▼ 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 Stealth Carrier IV
Unlocks construction of the ghost-carrier (carrier class).
Unlocks ships: ghost carrier
Which Should You Research First?
Both sit at the same tier. The Void Stealth Carrier IV is the cheaper project, so it's the safer early pick if your economy is tight; otherwise prioritise whichever effect supports your current strategy.
