shipbuilding Tech Comparison
Dreadnought Siege Doctrine V vs Titan Frame Engineering
Comparing the Dreadnought Siege Doctrine V (Tier 5) and Titan Frame Engineering (Tier 4), both shipbuilding technologies in Starforge MMO. Use this to decide which to queue first when your research lab can only run one project at a time.
Research Comparison
| Attribute | Dreadnought Siege Doctrine V | Titan Frame Engineering |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | T5 | T4 |
| Research time | 10▼ | 60 |
| metal cost | 24,000▼ | 150,000 |
| crystal cost | 14,400▼ | 75,000 |
| antimatter cost | 400▼ | 1,000 |
| Effect | unlock ship: terran-juggernaut | enables titan class: true |
▼ marks the lower resource / time cost. Cheaper isn't always better — weigh it against the effect each tech unlocks.
Dreadnought Siege Doctrine V
Unlocks construction of the terran-juggernaut (dreadnought class).
Unlocks ships: terran juggernaut
Titan Frame Engineering
Unlocks Titan-class warships — the largest buildable vessel class.
Unlocks buildings: titan shipyard
Unlocks ships: titan mk1
Requires: shipbuilding 3
Which Should You Research First?
The Titan Frame Engineering is the lower-tier prerequisite step and typically comes first in the shipbuilding branch, opening the path toward Dreadnought Siege Doctrine V.
