think tank

[tec_server]

think tank (class 4 ship)

this is a huge building that is attached to your research facility. it puts more man power into your researching and thus makes it faster to research technologies. it cuts the time of tech research in half.


attack/life: 0/1000
manpower: 2000

researchtime: 2 d
buildingtime: 12 h


needed research:
science recycle methods

battle details:
battle engine syntax:

very nice invention! this must be added to the game

[adamx17]

That's a good idea, it increases the efficiency of research, but at the same time makes itself vulnerable to the possibility of it dying because it takes so many mp to run. One question though is what happens to the research after it dies? Is the remaining time then doubled, or is there the same amount?

[MasterNeil]

I think to make it fair I could have the current research be canceled when it is destroyed.

[Metody I The Evil]

Yep... good idea... Otherwise it'll just be built and recycled afterwards

Another drawback is that when you loose it, normal research time doubles, or at least is 1.5 times longer...

As all your best scientists are there, when it is destroyed, whatever scientists you muster, won't be of the same *quality*

Loseing your current research is i think good enough, not extending normal research times. Its not like this is a free building, it costs 2000 mp, that is what is there to pretty much balance it out.

[MasterNeil]

Keep voteing yes!

[noah]

yeah this is a good idea neil. i dont kno the mp might be a little much. as it is it costs like 4 times as many points as a normal buildings. the lp is higher than normal buildings but i dont know if ti is high enough. but i guess this is what makes it balanced. the high risk of it getting destroyed and the shortened research time. i like it.

[LordBK]

i think another good thing about this, is that its prerequisite is science recycle methods, meaning its kinda far along the tech tree. This makes it so n00bs cant just speed research. It'll help late in game, because you can get other races ships faster. You also lose a lot more points if it gets destroyed. I would put it at a little less LP. Maybe like 800 or a little less. Motherships hardly get destroyed unless your whole fleet gets destroyed or you have no class 3. So this would add more risk to building it.

[MasterNeil]

22 for yes, to 1 for changes to 1 for no, this should be added

[firetoflames]

this should be added asap, it makes me want to research my other races...

[MasterNeil]

Something i just realized that really balances this is that you don't have enough mp to build it AND a cloak generater, which would be really unfiar, so its good you can't

[MasterNeil]

2 people vote no now compared to the 28 yes, i wonder why they don't like it, because they certainly don't tell us. I am curious what the admin's think

[MasterNeil]

I want some feedback from admins!

[Luis Abhorash]

I... don't know why... but I can vote yes... I have to vote no good try another... sorry
there is soemthing wrong with it, something I don't like... but I don't know why
I just have to say if this is accepted I will not build it maybe that make me vote no... I don't know... good luck with it
cya

Hmmmm. this is great i think especially for multiracial research, just get to a point where you have a lot of researches in your race, then put this up and take a week or 2 for some multiracial researching.

[adamx17]

I like this ship, its balanced and serves a good purpose, but I think it kind of takes away from the inclusiveness in this game, you know? Even though its that persons choice, you wouldn't be able to actively participate in battles and whatnot as well because you'd have such a shortage of manpower. I still like the idea though.

[LordBK]

well if you think someone is fast teching, you just attack their base then, they will be short 2,000 MP, so most likely you will kill them and win a lot of points, and kill their think tank. making them take time to rebuild it. And it would be especially balanced if when the think tank dies, the current research is stopped.

[MasterNeil]

Due to overwhelming popularity, and i don't see any real reason that this would be unbalanced or ruin the game, i hope we can see it at least by next round

[DarthVader_!]

good I Its lovely
