No it's just a deduction, no dev post to prove it though. SpaceTroll said in the interview the research tree is divided into 4 branches: Science and Industry, Exploration, Social and Diplomatic, and Military. You can see them up there on the image. I can bet the fist icon is the Military branch. Therefore points with the same icon should be Military points.

Hi all,



I just wanted to step in with a little clarification.





1. Researching and unlocking technologies in the Tech Tree is done only through Science points.

2. The fist icon on the Tech Tree and Ship Design screens indicates that they have something to do with Galactic Warfare (working name of that Tech Tree branch). You do not use a different resource other than "Science" to learn military technologies.

3. So MP is Military Power or Munition Points or Maiming Possibility or Massive Pounding or Mega-Pulverize something like that...

So these are Science points, but you are currently (or when the shot was taken) using the Galactic Warfare icon for them, right? If so why MP instead of SP?

I'm assuming that MP measures how strong the ship is, while in the tech tree uses science points to unlock stuff, i.e things for galactic warfare. Let's say stronger shields. Now with the stronger shields the MP raises because the ship is stronger. MP and SP are not directly related.

This makes sense.

I, too, would vote for such an expressive way of saying "threat level"
