Isotope Fabrication is a technology on the Galactic Warfare technology tree with a research cost of 510 Science. It unlocks one Beam Weapon Module and one Deflector Defense Module, requires research in Specialized Isotopes, and allows further research in Depleted Isotopes, Dust to Dust, and Alternative Armors.

"High-isotope materials are prized for both their material capacities and their energy content. Manufacturing them in large quantities is key to making them economically viable."

"By using advanced fabrication systems, projectiles of high-isotope materials can be casted and contained effectively."

Notes:[]

- Combined with the Phase Accuracy Modifiers described in Combat (Disharmony), the final accuracy values should end up as:

  • LR spec: 100% at long, 25% at medium and 25% at melee range
  • MR spec: 24,75% at long, 75% at medium and 24,75% at melee range
  • Melee spec: 10% at long, 10% at medium and 100% at melee range

making the melee spec at melee range the most destructive weapon DPS-wise. Problem is, its aim is poor during the long and medium phases and you have to somehow survive until your guns come to bear. LR spec is still great, almost on par with LR Unstable Torpedoes, theoretically slightly better than LR Synchrotron Laser. Medium spec is the weakest and is not recommended.

- Hissho's faction-specific tech makes their melee specialised T2 kinetics even more devastatig with 220 shots per single gun salvo, further amplyfying the strongest point of these weapons.

"By using denser materials, hull integrity and armor resistance to kinetics are improved. These materials are difficult to machine, but highly effective."
