Signal transmission
Talk to a fleet that is far past the horizon.
Signal transmissionFleets without communication are guesses with engines. Signal work is what turns a distant squadron back into a tool you can actually use.
Each generation of relay hardware buys a little more distance, and every commander who has lost a fleet to silence pushes this line harder than they admit.
What it does
Unlocks the Long-range comms module and extends beacon-relayed movement range, up to level 25. Relayed range starts at 100 tiles and grows by 10 tiles per level. It also gates Astrogation sequencing.
