Logistics Construction Sciences

Logistics Construction Science is arguably the most important research for new players. It allows the player to increase resource output, expand warehouse space, decrease building and ship construction costs and times, as well as allowing more ships to be repaired at the Spacedock and gaining an extra slot for ship and building construction. Rapidly getting most of the researches to level 8 before starting shield/structure science will give your early game a big boost.
