Researcher ID - It's coming back!

[Thyrzul]

Now, could some admin or dev finally enlighten us about why we should be so hyped about an ID which right now looks nothing more than a Hardcore RP'er ID, what extra would it actually give (no, flying in a Corvo or an 5ker and little to no rephacks are not extras, and the ability to do hardcore roleplay isn't and ID-given attribute), or else why shouldn't we just shrug it off as a Copypasta ID? Is there really any reason for applying for a Researcher ID over e.g. the Spec Ops ID, or just roleplaying a scientist without an SRP, like many have been doing so for so long? Some hinted about additional mechanics tied to the ID, mind elaborating on that?
