shipbuilding Tech Comparison
Dreadnought Engineering vs Titan Siege Doctrine V
Comparing the Dreadnought Engineering (Tier 4) and Titan Siege Doctrine V (Tier 5), 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 | Dreadnought Engineering | Titan Siege Doctrine V |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | T4 | T5 |
| Research time | 80 | 10▼ |
| metal cost | 180,000 | 24,000▼ |
| crystal cost | 90,000 | 14,400▼ |
| antimatter cost | 1,200 | 400▼ |

| Effect | enables dreadnought class: true; enables capital class: true | unlock ship: titan-dreadnought |
▼ marks the lower resource / time cost. Cheaper isn't always better — weigh it against the effect each tech unlocks.
Dreadnought Engineering
Multi-segment superstructure design and redundant reactor cradles unlock the Dreadnought — a Capital hull rivaling the Titan in mass.
Unlocks buildings: dreadnought foundry
Unlocks ships: titan dreadnought, hammerfist battleship
Requires: shipbuilding 7, shipbuilding 8, shipbuilding 5
Titan Siege Doctrine V
Unlocks construction of the titan-dreadnought (dreadnought class).
Unlocks ships: titan dreadnought
Which Should You Research First?
The Dreadnought Engineering is the lower-tier prerequisite step and typically comes first in the shipbuilding branch, opening the path toward Titan Siege Doctrine V.
