I typically start a research commander as soon as I can afford one usually after the first week. Having a third research base also lets me research Armour and Shielding in parallel in case somehow I’ve fallen behind. I build three bases because I’d like to continue to research other technologies, such as Laser, Plasma, etc. This means you can research both Armour and Shielding on one base at the same time you research Photon on the other. Photon research is 55.6 percent of the total research investment. You can see at the bottom the final cost of research for all levels of each technology. Please note that I am tracking only the last 12 levels of Armour, instead of all 22. Why only two bases? Take a look at the table below. On Helion, I ranked in the top 20 for research for a while, with three-quarters of my bases as labs. However, I always start with three Research bases during this phase of empire building. ![]() “How many Research bases do you need?” To complete the research, you need only two bases. Why only five weeks? The first week you should spend building your empire. You will spend five of the seven weeks pushing the research. As with other things in AE, that requires a well-tuned economy and time. As I show below, you will spend over ¤ 200,000 to complete the Pring research alone. I start this article with the most important aspect: research. So, it is a little easier when you’re among peers. In the other galaxy, I was at server start. So, E7 cluster was fairly mature, and I was in a hostile galaxy. I started Epsilon in November, almost six months after its server start. I started on Ceti, played slightly on Delta before I took a break.
