The Researcher is a Alliance class that gives bonuses in research, expeditions, and phalanx ability. The bonuses apply to all members of the alliance.
Bonuses[]
- 5% larger planets when colonizing
- This stacks with Discoverer class's +10% planet size bonus, meaning with both you will find planets with (115%)^2 = 132.25% the base fields as you would without either class.
- 10% speed bonus to ships on an expedition (flight time only, not expedition time)
- Ability to use the System phalanx which is like the normal phalanx but for an entire system at once
