Graviton Technology
From OGame Wiki
| Base Cost | |
|---|---|
| Metal: | 0 |
| Crystal: | 0 |
| Deuterium: | 0 |
| Energy: | 300,000 |
Graviton Technology is the pinnacle of technological research in OGame. With a staggering cost of 300,000 Energy, only the strongest empires belonging to the most successful players can afford to research it. Due to its unusual cost (0 metal, 0 crystal, and 0 deuterium; 300,000 energy), its construction time is 1 second. It is a vital technology for the construction of Death Stars.

[edit] Strategy
The only realistic way to get the extra energy needed is from Solar Satellites.
As the amount of satellites makes you an extremely desirable target (due to the potential debris field), ideally you want to research it at a (remote) location where you are unlikely to be attacked. Be wary of other players watching your fleet number increase to catch your satellite production and send out their fleet to attack.
Thus, ideally the production and research should take no more than a day. This can be achieved with a Nanite Factory of level four or higher.
To calculate how many satellites you need, turn off all of your mines, subtract your total energy from the basic cost, and divide this by the production per sat for the planet you are carrying out the research on. Planets closer to the sun will require fewer satellites, as they are hotter. Make sure you have enough resources available to build all the sats at once.
Once you have carried out the research, you will want to recycle the satellites. Get an alliance member or friend to attack in such a way that you can get one or more 20% moonchances out of it, unless you already have a moon or want to give up the colony. Make sure the fleet is big enough to wipe out your solar satellites, but not big enough to break through your defenses and take your resources. The best way to do this is to attack in several waves, each small enough to be defeated or taken to a draw by your defenses. Usually, the harvested crystal is offered as payment.
