'''SCIENCE / RESEARCH SYSTEM'''<br>
There is a research & development system allowing you to unlock advanced technologies.<br>
All R&D is performed by Scientists (a new entity type) and uses Science Stations and Supercomputers.<br>
You can unlock equipment blueprints, performance enhancements, and Stargate Updates.
 
NEW EQUIPMENT : Science station<br>

NEW EQUIPMENT : Energy Transmitter<br>
NEW CREW: Scientists
 
A new research screen allows you to direct your science team efforts.
 
 
'''INDUSTRY MODE AND STARGATE PROJECT, CONTINUED'''<br>
Phases 3 and 4 of the Stargate project are now available for completion.
 
Phase 3 requires science research to complete.<br>
Phase 4 requires an energy test, with your ships providing sufficient energy to the stargate for a fixed period.
 
Opposition - There are now hostile forces within the sector who oppose the construction of the stargate. Their threat level will slowly increase as you make progress.
 
The central stargate system will now 're-stock' periodically on critical equipment and resources<br>
Asteroid minerals will now be merged into larger stacks when there are so many in space that it begins to affect performance (>1000 minerals close together)
 
NEW EQUIPMENT: Small Robot Arm - A Robot Arm variant with an arm length of 1<br>
NEW EQUIPMENT: Smart Robot Arm => A Robot Arm that only picks up specified objects
