Logistic Slots

research

should be last tab on the research screen

Select the planet upon which you want more slots.

On the lower right is a button that looks like a planet.  Press it.

A new list of options will appear.  One looks like a grear.  Mouse over it and it will read something like "Logistics"

Press this(Assuming you have enough credits/metal/crystal) and it will increase.  Most planets have multiple levels of this, each costing more than the last.  I believe the Terran planet has the highest number of levels, 3, maxing out at 24 logistics slots.  Asteroids max out at 12.

You can upgrade Tactical slots in the same way.  The button is just to the right of the logistics one.  Read the other upgrades there as well.  The first upgrade you get on a planet should always be Civilian Infrastructure, so it doesn't cost you money and gets you income.  Also, don't forget to build extracors as soon as you colonize.

lol, good point Twilight there are lots of different "slots" , which do you mean Wingfan70?

His title is logistics slots, but yeah, good to clarify if he's confused.

I was trying to get more Logistic slots, but i already have the 24 for my terran planet......this must be the way the game forces you to expand your empire, more planets...more slots

Yup, that's exactly it.  Although Ryat was correct.  (Dangit )  There is a TEC research that gives you +4 Logistics slots on every single object you colnize(Which is esspecially useful for Pirate bases and dead Asteroids, which I believe do not get Logistics slots at all without it.)  You'll find it in the Civilian Research tree.  Similarly, Advent have a similar research, except for Tactical Slots(+5 I believe)

The best and cheapest way to get more slots is to colonize new planets.  In the early game you should not be upgrading logistics capacity on your existing planets, since this is too expensive.  Only start buying logistics upgrades after you're building trade ports (which should be a little later in the game).  For labs and factories alone, you should never need to purchase logistics upgrades.  If you do, it means your empire is too small and you're probably not even ready for that tech level yet.
