Upgrade: An upgrade improves an existing technology. Upgrades are applied automatically once researched. Everything using that technology instantly gains the benefit of the upgrade.

New Component: Makes a new vehicle component available. Use the Design Screen to make use of the new component. Either create a new design or modify an existing one.

New Structure: Makes a new structure available for building.
New Cyborg: A new Cyborg type will be available for manufacture.

Redundant Technologies: Occasionally research makes an existing technology redundant. When this happens, the redundant technology is replaced by the new one. (example: new engine design)
  Research Updates: Your computer informs you when research is completed and whether it was a major technology breakthrough.
   
 

 

Major research, results in a research update appearing in the intelligence display, on the reticule. Check the research updates to discover the properties of the new technology.  
 

Clicking on the Intelligence Display yields detailed research reports
