◙ Energy:
● Advanced Energy Storage>
Prerequisite: Energy Fields
Thousands of technologies are just waiting for a new battery to allow them to take off. Lithium NiCad have been improved to their max, and now with the ability to control plasma within a safe to handle, encapsulated energy field; solar heavy equipment, micro environment suits and many other breakthrus are now possible, tho this technology is too large and bulky for anything small or handheld.
● Improved Solar Collectors
>>● Compressed Plasma Injection>

>>>>● Cold Fusion>
>>>>>● Zero-point Energy Accumulator>
◙ Shielding:
● Radiation Shields>
>>● Basic Energy Fields>
Prerequisite: Research Net
Unlocks:
Advanced Energy Storage, Shuttles, Basic Plasma Jets,
The ability to generate stable physical barriers by super rotating highly charged, rare earth magnets has resulted in the ability to allow any ship to enter a planet’s atmosphere, new super light weight construction technique, harsh environment colony shelters to alleviate population overflow as well as allows for the safe use of plasma for energy storage.

◙ Miniaturization:
● Basic Nanotechnology>
>>● Hyper Miniaturization> When the smallest machines you can build, build the smallest machines they can build, things get small.
>>>● Foldspace Design> Literally the only way to get smaller is to squeeze into another dimension.
◙ Advanced Biology:
● Micronutrient Healing Vat> All the things your cells need to recover from almost anything, and it smells like flowers too!
>>● Advanced Healing Nanobots> Tiny robots live inside your blood stream, constantly monitoring your health and responding to actively fight off disease and heal from wounds.
>>● Basic Terraforming> The theory behind changing an entire planet's atmosphere to a human friendly range is quite complicated, but the trick lies in not over baking the cake...or in other words, prepare to slow the greenhouse effect long before the desired goal is reached.
>>>● Super Resilient Oxygen Producing Microbes> Oh man these little bugs make it so easy to make any hunk of rock into an earthlike paradise. They eat rock and poop out air and water, and only die when we tell them to. Who needs a spare planet or two? We do, we do!
>>>>● DNA Aging Sequence Turn Off> Human being's cellular deterioration, or the process of aging and dying, is hard coded into our DNA. Or was anyway. Immortality anyone?
>>>>>● DNA Sequence Insertion Protocol> We have figured out how to safely, drop in certain non human dna sequences which have allowed humans to radically change their bodies. Common additions are eagle's eyes, elephant's anti cancer sequence and full body cheetah spot fur.
>>>>>>● DNA Sequence Writer Program> Forget animal and plan DNA, we'll just write our own code thank you very much.
◙ Propulsion:
● Basic Plasma Jets> A step up from solid rockets, these heat/pressure thrusters are easy to recharge and make possible the non relativistic speeds required for short distance space vehicles.
● Repulser Lift> Requires close (ish) 300' contact with a planet, causes levitation by magnetic field.
● Warp Engines> Faster than light, here we go!
>>○ Advanced Warp Drive> We have managed to squeeze every ounce of technological improvement out of the FTL drive that is possible, the next breakthru will have to come from some other tech.
>>>>○ Quantum Drive> For a flash of a second, we are everywhere, and then we are just the one place we wanted to be, don't ask questions, it wouldn't help.
● Temporal Displacement Motor> When one can control the flow of time, the location in only three dimensions is super easy.
◙ Computers:
● Super Computers>
>>● Advanced Computer Targeting
>>● Hyperdrive Flight Planer>
>>>● Positronic Net> Once the interconnections of a computer reached a similar number to the human mind, new abilities become available as awakening beings within the shell.
>>>● Super Compression Protocol> Data is compressed using a semi aware algorithm.
>>>● Predictive Multi Target Tracking Matrix
>>>>● Artificial Intelligence> We are legion for we are many, but we are one.
>>>>>● AI-designed Human/Computer Language Interface> Forget programing language, with the ability to plug into the human brain, writing programs with the presence of an aware entity allows for new breakthrus in software design.
>>● Fold Space Data Storage> Data is compressed at right angles to our dimension, allowing endless storage space.
>>>● Quantum Computers: Exist out of time, thus ALL information is accurate and available.
