It sharpens high-tier ships for hostile and armada play, speeds Maverick faction grinding, and adds defenses built for Conqueror Borg content. This page lists every maverick research with what it does, the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/operationen\/\"   title=\"Betrieb\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"5452\">Betrieb<\/a> level it unlocks at, the number of levels, the cost to max, the research time, and prerequisites.<\/p>\n<h2>What Maverick research does<\/h2>\n<p>The tree does three jobs. The G5-and-up FKR PvE lines raise critical damage, isolytic damage, mitigation, and base damage for your high-tier ships against hostiles and armadas, which is the broad combat value. The Maverick faction lines, including Deeds, Glory, Patrons, and the intel efficiency node, cut the milestone points you need and boost the Renown and Maverick Credits you earn from solo faction tasks, so they pay back fast if you grind the faction. The Conqueror Borg lines, covering Isolytic Defense and Apex Shred against Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas, are targeted survival and damage for that specific content. A few 7-star resource cost-efficiency nodes and the Borg Sphere warp range round it out. If you run Conqueror Borg armadas, take the faction-grind boosts and the Conqueror Borg defenses first.<\/p>\n<h2>Every Maverick research<\/h2>\n<p>All 22 research projects, sorted by unlock level (most projects gate on your R&#038;D Department; some use Operations or another building). Cost to max is the full resource total across every level. Research time is the base time before your research-speed bonuses, which cut it heavily in play, so treat it as a relative gauge between projects rather than a real-world clock.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Forschung<\/th>\n<th>What it does<\/th>\n<th>Unlocks at (building level)<\/th>\n<th>Research levels<\/th>\n<th>Base research time to max<\/th>\n<th>Cost to max<\/th>\n<th>Prerequisites to max<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>G5+ FKR PvE Critical Damage<\/td>\n<td>Increases Critical Hit Damage for G5+ FKR ships against Hostiles and Armadas.<\/td>\n<td>R&amp;D 55, The Warp Dive Bar 1<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>55.2 yr<\/td>\n<td>10K Maverick Periphery Intel<\/td>\n<td>G5+ FKR PvE Isolytic Damage, G5+ FKR PvE Mitigation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Borg Sphere Warp Range<\/td>\n<td>Increases the Borg Sphere&#8217;s Warp Range.<\/td>\n<td>R&amp;D 55<\/td>\n<td>15<\/td>\n<td>183.7 yr<\/td>\n<td>5K Maverick Periphery Intel<\/td>\n<td>Keine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Deeds of the Mavericks<\/td>\n<td>Reduces the milestone points required for completing solo Maverick Faction Tasks by 20%.
