▼ marks the lower resource / time cost. Cheaper isn't always better — weigh it against the effect each tech unlocks.
Siege Weaponry
Massive siege cannons crack planetary defense shields and fortified orbital stations, unlocking the siege-cannon-4 module.
Unlocks buildings: siege foundry
Requires: weapons 5, weapons 6
Singularity Implosion Array
Micro-singularity generators collapse target hulls from the inside. Ignores armor and has 25% chance to instantly destroy frigates and smaller.
Unlocks buildings: singularity weapon lab
Requires: weapons adv 3, science 5
Which Should You Research First?
The Siege Weaponry is the lower-tier prerequisite step and typically comes first in the weapons adv branch, opening the path toward Singularity Implosion Array.
