How to Plan This Research
Tank techniques is most valuable after you commit to the matching ship class path. Upgrade it when it unlocks a weapon, shield, or equipment family that your current build will actually use. If your active loadout follows another class, this can wait.
FAQ
Should I always research the next level?

Why does the table stop where it does?
The table stops when the next research level would require a player level above 75.
