RESEARCH UPDATE

[apophis775]

It's there.

The Researcher Office needs a little work cause it's getting so cramped, but the base functionality is there.

There are 3 new "items"

Resin Paste - Used to fix helmets
Chitin Plates - Used to reinforce armor (spoilers: If you put it onto a B18 it'll actually reduce your armor and slow you due to how it changes the armor values. Anything else is a big increase)
AntiAcid spray - used to make things unacidable. Doesn't work no walls or doors.

The BIG part of this, is that we now have the "basis" for all future research systems.

We can now easily add items and resources with minimal effort.

Expect Research Update Part 2 in a few weeks, when we've got some new ideas for items and equipment.

Chitin plating should be acid resistant, this means complete or very high immunity to acid and neurotoxin!

Does the Resin Paste only work on normal helmets? I gotta test it out myself using the SL's helmet someday, but someone claimed it didn't work.

Huzzah, Research is now more useful.

[TheSpoonyCroy]

The Soon™ has finally come, YES!

[TopHatPenguin]

It'd be nice if chitin could be applied to the helmets as most xenos tend to aim for the head instead of other limbs.

[Warnipple]

Can we remove research nades now? Suicide bombing with research nades is incredibly stupid and effective.

Git gud at spitter

Should work on all helmets, even Donor ones.

I had a broken SL helmet and used the paste on it, the sprite didn't change but idk if it was hugger proof

[Jake Banto]

You guys must have some serious coderbus going on, so much content coming out all the time

[solidfury7]

Research actually has more meaning to "Part time cloning guy, part time explodey guy."

[darklizard45]

Research had an update... and there's even more coming...

I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT!!

[apophis775]

If the component gets comsumed, it applied. Also, it'll give you a test that says it did something.

[Simo94]

is Chitin Plates basically anti-FF?

I want a gun that shoots Xeno Armor plates back at the Xenos for impalment damage, o k a y A p o p t h a n k s

This update is a Pandora's box, once you open it a flood of suggested content is going to come rushing out.

[Kevinthezhang]

Calling it Pandora's box implies that terrible things will come about as a result of it. I don't think people providing suggestions is as terrible as you seem to think.

Not all ideas/suggestions are made equally. Its mostly a implication that due to the sheer magnitude of suggestions coming in, the devs are going to be more busy in all likelyhood sifting through them than implementing.

[Yacobpo157]

Resin paste for B18 helmets should repair it to at least two uses. I used resin paste on B18 when I was a Spec and it was worth the same as a normal helmet.

[Fritigern]

Research update was a failure. Best thing about the role is still the grenades, doing anything else is a waste of time.

[Surrealistik]

Chem and nades are definitely still where it's at.
