shipbuilding Tech Comparison
Titan Frame Engineering vs Titan Siege Doctrine V
Comparing the Titan Frame Engineering (Tier 4) and Titan Siege Doctrine V (Tier 5), 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 | Titan Frame Engineering | Titan Siege Doctrine V |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | T4 | T5 |
| Research time | 60 | 10▼ |
| metal cost | 150,000 | 24,000▼ |
| crystal cost | 75,000 | 14,400▼ |
| antimatter cost | 1,000 | 400▼ |
| Effect | enables titan class: true | unlock ship: titan-dreadnought |
▼ marks the lower resource / time cost. Cheaper isn't always better — weigh it against the effect each tech unlocks.
Titan Frame Engineering
Unlocks Titan-class warships — the largest buildable vessel class.
Unlocks buildings: titan shipyard
Unlocks ships: titan mk1
Requires: shipbuilding 3
Titan Siege Doctrine V
Unlocks construction of the titan-dreadnought (dreadnought class).
Unlocks ships: titan dreadnought
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 Titan Siege Doctrine V.
