Edward Teach	I've got no idea how R&D works, can someone please explain the process and most importantly the timeframe to say, research a ship from scratch? Are any of the available ships new ones that have been reaserched since the begining of the combine or do we just have the ones it started with on Y1D1??

Edward Teach	sigh.......I've read through all the rules pages, every single one as I thought it's be a great place to learn how to play etc. but I can't belive how much of it is listed there and not implemented. Doesn't seem much point in having alot of them there. Thanks for the quick reply Teyacapan :-)

Ralgarrch	Where exactly is R&D on the rules? Other than on the skills page where there clearly marked as not yet implemented. ____________

Edward Teach	No specific section about it but there are numerouis references on other rule pages. The one that really got me was datacards where it tells you that they're a physical item in the combine etc. then I find out there almost completley intangible, check out my thread about them many people commented in it they had no idea and had trusted what the rules said etc.

Raphael Kiltron	Well there has been a lot of confusion considering that there was a time when datacards served very little purpose. It was only since the advent of production that they began to be used more often. But as for R&D, the player's knowledge of R&D is evolving as the datacard knowledge did. Right, now since there is no R&D, no one really takes an active interest in how it is going to function. It will only be after its implementation that player's will realize that they are missing out and need to educate themselves on how it works. Honestly though, I doubt there is currently a solid structure for how R&D is going to work. ____________ Raphael Javiae Kiltron III

Mikel von Bianchi	Then you totally missed the rules posts around the Berlin trip, where they stated that they figured out how it's going to work? ____________ [19:48] .Zhao> Items know they're inside me

Ralgarrch	The rules update forum exists for a reason, if part of the rules pages are outdated or reference R+D without making it clear thats not possible yet you can always rewrite them and post there for them to be updated. ____________

Edward Teach	So if R&D doesn't work do any new production factions get access to datacards? or do they have no datacards and have to purchase whatever number of usess they want from a faction that have them? How do the admins decide what factions get what datacards etc.

Year 9 Day 237 14:12	R&D
Teyacapan Quetzalxochitl	No more datacards are being handed out. If you start a production faction you get nothing. (apart from escape pods for ship producers, and things like that) ____________ Staff consensus that avatar was inappropriately suggestive. (retards)

Raphael Kiltron	“Then you totally missed the rules posts around the Berlin trip, where they stated that they figured out how it's going to work? ” Yes, evidently I did. buys glasses So we know the basic structure of it all, it just hasn't been put into words on the Rules Page? Or has that been updated to? ____________ Raphael Javiae Kiltron III

Xavze Zavan	I must say the reports from Berlin led me to think R&D was near ready to go and that we would see it long before combat...oh heavens...what have I said? ____________ How would you like to pay income tax EVERY month?

Rune Tao	The general thing to keep in mind on the rules sections is that these things have been reworked about 100 times since I've started and until something is hard coded into the game (and sometimes not even then), any content that is written should be taken with a grain of salt. I think what is written on there now is perhaps more likely to stick around until it is implemented (better rules page writing has gone on now than 4 years ago, for example), but you can never be 100% sure. ____________

Year 9 Day 238 21:26	R&D
Raphael Kiltron	Well that is similiar to what I was aiming at when I said that we really haven't created a solid structure of how R&D would work. But up until recently you really couldn't take what the Rules said about R&D very seriously, though after the Berlin Conference (no pun intended) anything said about R&D has a bit more merit, assuming the rules were updated. ____________ Raphael Javiae Kiltron III
