Bought mid-battle with supply. Each one gives something and costs something.
Core upgrades · 5
Adds a +50% outer targeting band. Attacks, repairs, and boarding channels operate at 55% output beyond native range, and armed squads hold that safer line.
Converts the squad into a breacher: it closes to 45% range and deals +60% damage there, but deals 15% less outside the breach band.
No single hit can strip more than 30% of maximum hull after shields. Mobile units lose 12% thrust; static emplacements lose 18% maximum integrity. Strong into alpha strikes, weak into rapid fire.
Adds 250 shield. If at least 25% charged, a breaking hit loses all hull overflow; the gate re-arms only after recharge reaches 25%.
Burns at +65% speed while marching or closing on its chosen standoff, then disengages in combat; turn authority is halved during the burn.
Foundry signature tech · 8
Prints a frigate every 6s and assigns its nanoforge to repair the most damaged nearby ally.
Foundry launches 75% more craft in each attack wave, but takes longer to rebuild the formation.
Foundry launches smaller flights at nearly twice the cadence, keeping constant pressure on the field.
Foundry fields an autonomous battery against missiles, mines, and attacking light craft.
Foundry projects a regenerating mobile barrier that allied ships can shelter inside.
Foundry extends the weapon range of nearby allies through a tactical command net.
Foundry batteries share one fire-control net: the squad lays every gun on one mark, and each round leads it and scatters half as wide.
Foundry fields an emitter wing that restores allied shields around the assembly line.
