Use the 'Vulture' ability from your Officer Training School. It grants bonus items from fallen enemies, which includes research materials. means less time in the lab!
You'll need to build a Laboratory early on. It gives a 20% boost to research speed per scientist assigned. Get that and pack it with your best brains!
Here's a hot take: Focus on critical research and skip the fluff. Choose projects wisely to get key tech in the shortest time.
I built 2 lab facilities and stacked them with scientists. My research speed skyrocketed, made a huge difference in the late game!
