=== Research alternatives ===
{{SVersion|3.3}}
Each card hand drawn will contain 3 research alternatives, which may be further increased by 1 for each of the following:
* {{icon|edict}} Scientific Revolution unity ambition
* {{icon|self-evolving logic|24px}} Self-Evolving Logic technology
* [[File:Tradition discovery science division.png|24px]] Science Division / Mindlink / Research Path Optimization discovery tradition
* {{iconify|Natural Neural Network}} civic
* {{iconify|Static Research Analysis}} civic
* {{iconify|Research Cooperative}} level 2

Additionally, some research cards may be gained as ''permanent alternatives''. They appear below the regular alternatives and are distinguished from them by a {{tech|acquire|golden}} border surrounding the tech card's bezel. These alternatives are usually acquired (along with some partial progress) through post-battle debris analysis, from special projects or [[event]] chains. These options will always appear as available options when drawing a new card hand and will remain as such until completed.

If need be, it is possible to change an on-going research project at any point – without incurring penalties – in order to continue researching it at a later time. It is important to note, however, that the saved progress does ''not'' scale with changes occurring to technology costs (for better or for worse). This tends to lead to the tech's completion percentage getting lower as the empire continues to further exceed its administrative capacity.

As opposed to a permanent alternative, there is no guarantee that the technology in question will appear in the next card hand drawn.
