I see under the technologies page there is a certain amount of research that is needed for certain tech items (like the highest Impulse Engine requirement is lvl 6 for bombers). Is there any benefit for raising these techs higher than the max that is on the tech tree page or is it just a waste of money? If there is a benefit, what is it for each one of them (other than energy tech, which improves fusion plants)?
EDIT: Also, what are the drawbacks to not having enough energy?

Less energy makes you produce less res from mines. Click on the techs to see their uses.

#3Thanks .
Wait, so energy tech doesn't help with the fusion reactors like it says in the formula on the building page?
