== Research speed ==
{{SVersion|3.3}}
''Research speed'' represents a given expertise in a particular research area or field leading to shortened research time of related technologies.

Research speed boosts the perceived research production in the following manner:

<math>\text{Perceived research production} = \text{Research resource produced}\, \cdot\, \sum\text{Research speed modifiers}</math>

The most immediate sources of research speed modifiers are the 3 lead [[scientists]]. As the applied bonus depends on a scientist's skill level and overall traits, it is recommended to assign newly recruited scientists to command a [[science ship]]. Scientists on exploration duty tend to gain experience faster and, if one is in luck, they may also gain a new trait beneficial to research while leveling up.

; Example
An empire is a {{iconify|Materialist|21px}} and produces {{icon|eng|21px}} {{green|+24}} Engineering research a month. It has a lead engineering scientist with a {{iconify|Propulsion|21px}} field expertise while researching {{icon|Armored Torpedoes tech|21px}} Armored Torpedoes.

<math>\text{Perceived research production} = 24\, \cdot\, (1\, +\, 0.05\, +\, 0.15)\, = 28.8 </math>

'''Note:''' A research area without an acting lead scientist receives a penalty to research speed.

Research Speed can be affected by the following:
