Quick Research Question

from Sins Forums
Lets say that you want to research an upgrade which requires 5 military labs.....can you build those labs and then destroy (Scuttle) them after the research is complete??

Good question! Yes, you can do that! If all research is done you could basically scuttle all 16 research stations you probably have at that point and gain some valuable resources.

Hmmm....that almost seems patch worthy. But until then I know what I am going to be doing to free up some resources :CONGRAT:

You *could*.... however the labs have to be kept if you're to build any units or structures you researched. No labs = no technicians and blueprints.

I was just thinking about this last night. I'm almost at the end of the tech tree and figured, "Why not just scuttle them and put some trade ports in instead?"

Case closed.....I am relieved that IC didn't leave such a huge loophole in the research system.

They have thought of everything!!

*ahem* Except for key-reference cards for us suckers who bought the game from brick and mortar stores! :) I couldn't help myself

Ah damn, I didn't notice that, only that the researched items remained.. but I guess it's better this way.
