Laboratory   Starship Researches   Starbase Researches

General

Researching in a Starbase Laboratory is pretty important as Starbases are incredibly weak by themselves. Most researches will cost Supplies Supplies but some will cost Starbux Starbux to start. Just like starships, once you begin researching something, you cannot remove the Laboratory until you finish or rush the research

Here is a list of all of the Starbase Research Options available, a small explanation is also given for every option.
