That is exactly what I'm interested in , and with every technology, not just expeditions.

Well... if you're online to see the attack, and research technologies in order to save resources, you would essentially be able to fleet save as well , which is most likely what I'll be doing.
If the key to success in this game is Fleet Saving, then I'm curious to know where I should be spending my resources in the research lab, without wasting too many resources.

I really wish Ion, Laser, and Plasma technologies, when researched above the minimum requirements, increased the strength of the light lasers, heavy lasers, ion cannons, and plasma cannons for your planet's defense. Has this suggestion been made already ? Does anybody know ?
