Upgrades Console

The Upgrade Console is located on the upper deck at the Bridge. The console is the source of all research and tech in the game. Through it, you can gain access to a multitude of abilities that will support your small ships and Battlecruiser. In order to successfully complete research, the console user must remain stationed on the console for the entire upgrade duration; failing to do this will cancel and refund the upgrade. All upgrades cost a combination of minerals that increase as you raise in upgrade level.
