Never too late to learn. Begin today and make your dream true!

I'll take that as, you like the idea! And don't worry, my dreams coming true are inevitable anyways! Wink

It wouldn't effect the base strength or defense capability. But it would mean people with existing bases could divert a module into scidata research. Now maybe the numbers I gave are too high, it could be reduced, or the costs of things could go up. That part can be played with, but it would be true that existing bases that decide to be used for research may have their strategic value go way up. Its true that already fortified bases could start being used for data. At the same time, we could easily connect the use of the scidata to things for factions, meaning scidata could have more than economic value, and when you know a faction is saving data, it means they're up to something! So, if you want to control a faction's ability to do larger scale stuff, you'd have to try to slow them down by preventing their base from being supplied as much, or try to take out the base.

I think this would be a good direction to go either way, we'll just need more stuff to redeem the scidata for. But if its useful stuff, and ideally story propelling actions, that would keep consumption going and hopefully people happily working to make it all happen.

Yet I know some would be concerned with, do we acknowledge what goes on on a POB? We used to, and I think it makes sense to. So just like if you are manufacturing cloaks or JD's, it would require policing to make sure bases researching scidata are even legal to do so.
