Also a race based on science could offer additional services through research treaties. For example
Component without research treaty has standard maintainance cost.
With treaty component or weapons get small buff/maintenance cost due to the combined cooperation and understanding of both races.
But if both races are at war. Those same weapons and components have a small debuff on them. When at war against the race that sold them to you. Since they have a better understanding of the tech and would know it's strengths and weaknesses. This would help give research treaties more meat and more levels of thought. Research treaties would no longer just be the dressing on the cake. It would be a entirely different cake.

Hello there,

1a. How many tech's are available at the moment ( or at least an estimate ) ?

1b. And will there be more techs added in later expansions ?

2. Will we be able to research the other "space travel - propulsion techs" besides the primary ?

Like we started the game with Warp Drive. Will we be able to "acquire" wormhole travel later from research / conquering another empire that used wormhole travel / analyze wrecks of other ships .
And would we be able to use 2 types of "space travel methods" at the same time at some point ? Or even all 3.


Thanks.

#1b. most likely yes considering Paradox's DLC policy
#2, iirc Wiz stated during his Blorg streams that you can acquire other methods of FTL by reverse engineering ship wrecks and such.

Thanks mate.

We are able to have different ships that use different FTL methods, but no ship can have more than one FTL method and a fleet can't have several of them either. But as long as you consider the fleets can't be combined if they have two or three FTL types, yes, it is possible
