Technologies

Each Crucible gives the player access to a unique tech tree. Technologies are bought at the Tech Station using Microcircuits, which are awarded upon successful completion of a siege. Technology trees are also divided into tiers, which are unlocked using Links. Links are also awarded for completing sieges, though the amount depends on how much damage the crucible and defense turrets took. Technologies can unlock both blueprints and Perks
