Chapter
13: Technology Advances
Advanced Subatomic Theory
Against a player who has constructed loads of fast units (rovers, speeders,
or hovertanks), the comm jammer could turn the tide of war in your favor,
providing a +50 percent defense bonus.
* Type: Discover 3
* Abilities: Comm jammer
* Base facilities: Skunkworks
* Comes from: High-energy chemistry, polymorphic software
* Leads to: Applied relativity, silksteel alloys
Applied Gravitonics
Awarding the researcher with a powerful weapon, applied gravitonics rests
high on the technology tree, only two steps away from transcendent thought.
* Type: Explore 14
* Weapons: Graviton gun (20)
* Comes from: Graviton theory, digital sentience
* Leads to: Controlled singularity
Applied Physics
The bottom of the technology tree, applied physics can instantly boost
your military force with the acquisition of the laser weapon.
* Type: Conquer 1
* Weapons: Laser (2)
* Leads to: Nonlinear mathematics, high-energy chemistry, optical computers
Alpha Centauri Tech Tree Path: Needlejets
Most players, particularly in multiplayer, aim their sights to air power, or needlejets, as soon as possible. Below are some paths to the discovery of Doctrine Air Power, the prerequisite for needlejets.
Fast Path to Needlejets
1. Doctrine Mobility
2. Doctrine Flexibility
3. Doctrine Air Power
Because the Spartan Federation begins with Doctrine Mobility, its path to air power is usually quick, depending on the amount of research stressed by the colony. The Believers' default advance begins the longest path; coupled with poor research ability, air power could be far out of their grasp.
Longest Path Needlejets
1. Social psych
2. Ethical calculus
3. Gene splicing
4. Synthetic fossil fuels
5. Doctrine Air Power
