Hyperspace
Hyperspace is a master science which increases the speed of ships. It is the solution for problems with hypersonic engines. The development of the reactor for hydrogen synthesis hasn't been hard because it has been in everyday use for a long time. But photon engines are a different thing. After lots of experiments with different materials and with different designs, engineers found crystal (combined with metal and gas) to be resistant to high temperatures and at the same time capable of refracting the light rays into the right direction.
Bonus: Each level of Hyperspace increases the speed of all ships by 20% (up to 300% in total)
Max level: level 15
Requirements
- Laboratory/Experimental Facility/Overmind at level 10
- Jet engines at level 3
