How to get Subspace Imaging Array
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 40) and its weight modifiers. Tier 4 opens after 6 tier 3 technologies of the same area. As a rare technology it is drawn less often, and some rare ones only appear after an event, a relic or a special project.

}Subspace Imaging Array: questions
How do I get Subspace Imaging Array in Stellaris?
Research Arkship Mastery, Gravitic Sensors and Automated Exploration Protocols first (5 technologies in the whole chain); then Subspace Imaging Array can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options. It is a rare technology: its draw weight is low, and some are only offered after an event, a relic or a special project. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).
What does Subspace Imaging Array do?
It unlocks Arkship System Scanner (starbase module).
What is the ID of Subspace Imaging Array?
The technology's ID is tech_arkship_system_scanner. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_arkship_system_scanner (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Subspace Imaging Array cost?
10,000 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
