Research Price of Ship is Different

I might be looking at something wrong, but I can't figure out why the research price of the German Tier V Kongsberg changes...

 

When I pull up the Tech Tree and move mouse over the Kongsberg it list the research price as 18,000 but if I click on it and display it in my port, the research price is now listed as 21,000.....??? Why does the research price go up when you click on it....???

 

Also I have 17,947 ship XP on the Dresen and have already researched both the Tier III and Tier IV cruisers, but didn't buy them. So i should be able to use the Dresen's XP point on the Kongsberg which would leave me needing only 53 or 3053 XP points to be able to research it. (depending on which listed cost you go by)...

 

I know I don't have to buy the Tier III and IV ships to be able to research the Kongsberg, so someone tell me what I'm missing...... I've never had this problem before while going up though the IJN fleet. And since I got the German Tier II Premium cruiser for free, I thought why not work my way up the German tier....

You have to research each module in the tree.  If there are two or three hulls, you have to XP through each one to get to the one you want.

I too had this happen.I was going from a T3 to T4, Tech Tree said 7300, T4 screen said 8500. Like Mohawk said, it is needed to research all the upgrades.  I had overlooked the upgrades on the T3

I understand that once you buy a ship, you have to research each of the upgrades.... But this is not what I'm taking about... I have yet to buy the Kongsberg so the upgrades research prices should not be a factor.....

 

You can look at ships and see the cost and research price of a ship by going to the "Tech Tree"... You can also click on a ship in the Tech Tree and it will move the ship to your port without you researching or buying the ship... The research price of a ship should not change not matter if you look at it in the tech Tree or your Port....


And why is it not seeing the 17,947 ship XP on the Dresen so i can use it to research the Kongsberg....???

Ok I think I figure it out with your help TheGuardian...

 

I think I need to research the hull upgrades on both the Tier III and Tier IV ... And this is why when I click on the ship it tell me I still need 17,147 XP to research

No. You can't skip straight through a ship to get the one that's after. That's not the reason at all. The xp you have on the Dresden will stay on the Dresden, unless you've elited that ship.

 

The reason is because you don't have the hull(s) researched on the Karlsruhe, therefore when you select the Konigsberg it shows 21,000 xp needed because it's adding in the xp amount needed to research the hulls on the Karlsruhe.

 

Once again, you can't skip straight through tiers, you need to play the Karlsruhe, and research the Konigsberg with the xp from that ship, the reason it shows 21,000 xp is because you don't have the hull(s) on the Karlsruhe researched.

The tree price is based on the assumption the previous ship is fully upgraded. If it's not then in the port screen it adds those extras needed to get there.

Well I put my helmet back on so I won't be licking the windows on the short bus any more.... My 1 brain cell was cramping when I couldn't figure out why Dresen XP wouldn't transfer.... But after I seen the light that TheGuardian was shining in my eyes, that 1 brain cell kicked into high gear and I'm now only slightly retarded now, and figured it out.... But thanks for the help....
