* Polymer Reaction blueprints are seeded on the NPC market under ''Reactions > Polymer Reactions''. As with other reactions these cannot be researched. | * Polymer Reaction blueprints are seeded on the NPC market under ''Reactions > Polymer Reactions''.

* Fullerenes are obtained by harvesting gas sites in w-space. See [[Gas Cloud Mining#Fullerenes]] for more details. Fullerenes are very bulky and shipping large quantities of these gases may become challenging, however they are treated as Ore for purposes of being carried by specialized cargo holds (such as via a [[Miasmos]]). | * Fullerenes are obtained by harvesting gas sites in w-space. See [[Gas Cloud Mining#Fullerenes]] for more details. Fullerenes are very bulky and shipping large quantities of these gases may become challenging, however they are treated as Ore for purposes of being carried by specialized cargo holds (such as via a [[Miasmos]]). As of March 8, 2022, fullerenes can be compressed. The compression ratio is 10:1. This makes exporting fullerenes out of wormholes much easier. The economic impact of this change is still developping. | ||
* Minerals are obtained from mining standard ores (either from Ores sites in w-space, or asteroid belts in k-space). Compared to Tech 2 manufacturing, very little minerals are actually required to manufacture Tech 3 ships and subsystems. | * Minerals are obtained from mining standard ores (either from Ores sites in w-space, or asteroid belts in k-space).

* Fuel blocks are also required. These can be manufactured from ice and PI commodities or purchased on the market. | * Fuel blocks are also required. These can be manufactured from ice and PI commodities or purchased on the market. | ||
