Intelligence lab

Intelligence lab 

Now that we know what blueprints are, its time to put the ones we got to use in our intelligence lab. 

First we gotta build our lab, so head over to the command center and click on the build. 

First we need to build the Advanced lab, build it and upgrade it to level 3 . 

The advanced lab is where you will find researchable specials, for now lets research Engine Upgrade 1. Now we need to upgrade out outpost to level 3 to be able to build the intelligence lab, head over to the outpost and upgrade it. 

The outpost requires 216,000 energy. Since we have the maximum amount of res we are able to be hold, being capped at 160,000, we need to build two warehouses and upgrade them to level 3. 

Now that we have the warehouses built and upgraded, we are able to collect enough resources to upgrade the outpost and finally build our intelligence lab. Head out to the world map with your fleet to start resource collecting. 

Once you have your resources, begin upgrading your outpost. This will take 1 hour and a half before it finishes. So you can research weapons/armors  during this time or log out and do something else. I'm gonna start my research on Havok Torpedoes, and Steel 1. 

Once your outpost is finished upgrading, build your intelligence lab, and upgrade it to level 3. 

Now you are able to use the blueprints we got in the Down the Barrel Campaign, and any you find in Cargo fleets. Just make sure to upgrade it to the max as soon as you can.
