Detection Array
ComputingRareFirst Contact Story PackDetection Array is a rare tier 2 physics technology (Computing) in Stellaris 4.5.2. Its base cost is 3,000 research. It needs Gravitic Sensors. It leads to 2 technologies. Console: research_technology tech_detection_array.

How to get Detection Array
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 70) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 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.

What Detection Array leads to
Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.
In the game
A high-powered suite of external sensors, capable of detecting cloaked fleets.
Console command
Typed in the game's console (the ~ key); achievements are off for that game.

}Detection Array: questions
How do I get Detection Array in Stellaris?
Research Gravitic Sensors first; then Detection 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 Detection Array do?
It unlocks Arkship Detection Array (starbase building) and Detection Array (starbase module). It leads to Advanced Detection Algorithms and Dark Matter Detection.
What is the ID of Detection Array?
The technology's ID is tech_detection_array. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_detection_array (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Detection Array cost?
3,000 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.
