WEAPON
CHAIN RAY
This Ray weapon is longer range than most other weapons. By default, it does constant damage to its single target. Alternatively, the Ray can be set to Support mode, where it becomes linked to a friendly Battleship in range that is also equipped with Chain Ray. When in Support mode, the Chain Ray does not target any ships but instead greatly increases the damage output and range of the target supported Battleship. A single Chain Ray can be supported by up to 2 additional rays.

Blueprints are collected, not spent: the number is how many you need to have. Credits and research time are paid at each level; Total adds them up to that level.
