How to get Kinetic Artillery
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.

}Kinetic Artillery: questions
How do I get Kinetic Artillery in Stellaris?
Research Gauss Cannons and Kinetic Battery first (6 technologies in the whole chain); then Kinetic Artillery can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options.
What does Kinetic Artillery do?
It unlocks Chitin Artillery (ship component), Kinetic Artillery (ship component), Reshaping Projectile Accelerator (ship component) and Arkship Lm Accelerator (starbase module).
What is the ID of Kinetic Artillery?
The technology's ID is tech_kinetic_artillery_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_kinetic_artillery_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Kinetic Artillery cost?
10,000 engineering 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.
