Propulsion
Ionisation
Learn to strip electrons on purpose, and the plasma economy opens.
IonisationIonisation started as an engine diagnostic and became a foundation. Understanding how plasma is actually made changed both propulsion and refining.
It is one of the rare research lines that a working engine teaches you rather than the other way around - you need hardware in hand before the theory makes sense.
What it does
A prerequisite line up to level 25, requiring an engine in stock to begin. It gates the Plasma refinery and Ship plasma storage - in short, no domestic fuel logistics without it.
Requirements
- Research lab · level 1 or higher
- Scout engine · 1 or more in stock
Level 1 cost
- Crystal375
- Orizin675
- Maximum level
- 25
- Base research time
- 50s
