The most important thing getting started in SG is getting your economics running smoothly. A constant flow of resources will make advancements in the future much faster. You can also use corp points to purchase materials to cover the costs of research.
Research the following at the beginning to help kickstart your economy:
| Research Name | Category | Subcategory |
|---|---|---|
| Squad Leadership (T3R1) | Recruit | Recruit Dispatch Efficiency |
| Mining Efficiency (T3R1) | Recruit | Recruit Dispatch Efficiency |
| Squad Size (T3R1) | Recruit | Recruit Dispatch Rewards |
| Mining Yield (T3R1) | Recruit | Recruit Dispatch Rewards |
| Ammo Productivity (T3R3) | Production | Ammo Production Technology |
| Ammo Mass Production (T3R3) | Production | Ammo Production Technology |
| Ammo Assembly | Production | Ammo Production Technology |
Once the economy is situated, you can start working on a solid foundation for your ships to be tanky enough to take hits. This is basic research that everyone will need to beat encounters and handle PvP later in game.
