Starship Researches

## **Summary**

Once the Laboratory is onboard the player's Starship, he/she can begin researching various upgrades and technologies to further improve their ship. Researches will either cost Gas  or Starbux , and they can be instantly completed by paying additional Starbux.

The below table of contents displays every single research available to Starships. A research's Laboratory requirement for their first level determines its category placement. Alternatively, hitting Ctrl + F or Command + F and typing in keywords can be done to navigate the page on PC/Mac.
