Aaron finally gives you what you need to make true nomans, and you get stuck with too much school. How sad, for you as well as all of us P&N fans!

How does it help?

You can now make ships that generate research and intel. So, nomads no longer have much need for planets at all, once the appropriate components are made.

Ahhhh coool. Thanks. See Fyron, another question and answer that just fules the need for MW.

Here's a code snippet I use until the "official" Version comes out:

code:

Description           := [EN] A space borne research laboratory.

Things I would change about that for P&N:

1) Make it ten-per-ship max.
2) Divide the stats by 10
2) Remove nomadic requirement.
3) Make it count as cargo (so the Pirate Civvie transports can use it too)
4) Swap minerals and organics cost. (Researchers are people too! )
5) Reduce points generated. Maybe 5, then 8 and 10 can be given by applied research techs.

Normal players can use this too, but they'll be paying way more in maintenance while they have powerful planet-based facilities they could use instead. They'll probably stick them in the extra space on BSYs, or wherever there is room, and they won't cost too much maintenance.

Good idea.

Beleive it or not it is in my list of things to do.
