Line Picker

Pick a line that fits how you want to play.

Not chasing a Bureau? This is for picking a tech-tree line by feel. Browse by nation or filter by the playstyle you enjoy, and each line tells you its strengths, its weaknesses, how forgiving it is, and which of your commanders fits it. Remember the Legends tech tree caps at Tier VIII; the famous Tier X ships are Bureau projects, shown here as where a line leads.

⚠

Line rosters (ships, tiers, branch splits) are read straight from your in-game tech-tree captures, all twelve nations. Playstyles are durable archetypes. Commander picks are fit-based suggestions from your own roster, matched to each line's role; tune them to the captains and talents you prefer. A few newer-nation identities are flagged for a second look.

Tech-tree structure (lines, tiers, branch splits) sourced from Russell's in-game captures, June 2026, all twelve tech-tree nations. Playstyle, strengths, weaknesses, and skill curve are archetype-level and stable across patches. Commander rows name a fit from Russell's current roster matched to the line's role; talents and personal preference can shift the pick. Tier VIII is the tech-tree cap in Legends; "leads to" names the Bureau/Legendary ship a line feeds. Verify the current tree in-game before committing a long grind.
