Ion science
Ion science is an advanced science which increases the attack of ships with Ion weapons. Based on Ion science research developments, scientists have constructed an ionizer and put it into an Ion cannon which can be very powerful. The ion canon takes usually harmless ions and shoots them out at speeds nearing the speed of light, which makes them devastating. All ships that utilize this weapon receive a bonus from this science.
Bonus: Each level of Ion science increase the attack of all ships and defense units with Ion-type weapons by 15% (up to 255% in total)
Max level: level 15
Requirements
- Laboratory/Experimental Facility/Overmind at level 8
- Mathematics at level 5
- Laser science at level 5
