==How long does research take?==

ME and TE research both take the same time to perform. The ~~base time for~~ the ~~first level~~ of research ~~can be seen in the information of a BPO~~.

ME and TE research both take the same time to perform. The duration depends on the rank of the blueprint and the current research leve.

~~[[File:Research-info~~.~~png]]~~

Note that ME and TE levels and research duration are counted separately. So improving the ME level will not have any effect on how long TE research will take.

This is the time required to go from either ME or TE 0%, to -1% ME or -2% TE, which is one level of research. In this case, of the [[Archon]] capital ship, the first research level takes 5 hours 50 minutes (which would be reduced by your skills and/or facility bonuses). Each further level of ME or TE takes exponentially longer to perform than the previous level.

All BPOs have a Rank (not visible in-game) which determines how long they take to research. Rank 1 blueprint is the "baseline" blueprint. The table below shows the research times needed for a baseline blueprint.

Research times for blueprints of higher rank are simply base durations multiplied by the blueprint rank.

::''Research duration = Base duration × Blueprint rank''

The table below shows the blueprint ranks for various blueprint groups.
