▼ marks the lower resource / time cost. Cheaper isn't always better — weigh it against the effect each tech unlocks.
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
Temporal Disruption Cannon
Fires a distortion pulse that freezes enemy ships in a localised time bubble for 10 seconds. Unlocks temporal-disruptor-5 module.
Unlocks ships: temporal strike cruiser
Requires: weapons adv 2, science 5
Which Should You Research First?
Both sit at the same tier. The Singularity Implosion Array is the cheaper project, so it's the safer early pick if your economy is tight; otherwise prioritise whichever effect supports your current strategy.
