8,000What Battleships does
Modifiers as the game prints them, from the technology's modifier block; then the unlock lines its research card shows.
- +60Fleet Command Limit
- Unlocks Ship Type: BattleshipBattleship The largest regular hull configuration available, the Battleship carries immense power into battle at even greater cost and reduced maneuverability.
What Battleships unlocks
Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.
How to get Battleships
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 45) and its weight modifiers. Tier 4 opens after 6 tier 3 technologies of the same area.
The whole research path: 3 technologies, 14,000 base research with this one

What Battleships leads to
Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.
In the game
The largest of the standard military vessels, Battleships are traditionally heavily armored and sport several gun batteries.
