Tech Lab

"Advanced module and ship upgrades, including shields, are researched at the Tech Lab."

Stats
Note: Upgrade stats can be found here.

General
The Tech Lab is one of three research labs. It enables you to research up to Tier 3 shields, thrusters and weapon boosts.

Most Blueprints and some Reusable Items that are shields or specials can only be equipped after your Tech Lab has reached a certain level.

When damaged, ongoing research is paused until the structure is fully repaired.

Strategy
In the early stages, consider protecting your labs because enemy attacks may damage them and delay the completion of your research.

At higher levels however, there is not much left to research, so feel free to use them as cannon fodder.

Trivia

 * The Tech Lab used to be much darker in color. This was changed by KIXEYE in an update and now has a lighter color.
 * All Miner Rebellion modules (except Terminus Mines) received Anti-Pierce in the mid-January 2020 update which is basically infinite Counter Pierce.
 * The Tech Lab had its build and upgrade times reduced by 30% for all levels in the late April 2020 update.
