Advanced and elite warships, including the endgame Ascendant.
Evolution leads to some of the most advanced craft in the sector — disruptive medium ships, repair support, and the strongest elite hulls. It is the longest-term military investment.
| Tier | Unlocks |
|---|---|
| Tier 2 | EMP Cruiser, Repair Drone Swarm |
| Tier 5 | Void Wraith (elite) |
| Tier 8 | Ascendant (elite, among the strongest ships in the game) |
Evolution is a marathon. The payoff — elite ships like the Void Wraith and the Tier-8 Ascendant — is enormous, but reaching the final tier takes a sustained research economy. Commit to it as a long-game plan, not a quick power spike.
