Research leads to advances in the available technologies.
Starting Technologies
All players in all games start with the following technologies already researched:
In A Murder of Crows, the new Morrigi race also starts the game with Stealth Armor researched.
Additionally each player will have already researched the initial star drive technology depending on race:
- Human - Node Drive
- Hiver - Teleport Gate
- Tarka - Hyperdrive
- Liir - StutterWarp
- Zuul - Rip Drive
- Morrigi - Void Cutter Drive
The following starting technologies are always available, but not researched:
Finally, each player will have a random chance of these technologies being available for research at the beginning of the game:
Additional Technologies
Forum member Iztok did some research for starting games with additional technologies in A Murder of Crows and came up with the following:
If the tech is random and the player fails to roll for it, he gets next tech on the list. The first 15 "levels" on the list seem to be in a fixed order. Randomness starts after "level" 15 (i.e. Addict Morrigi for the Morrigi or Cybernetic interface for other races), but some techs seem to appear more often than others.
