ideas for Science skill (in development)

Overview

The Science group of skills is the most numerous by far, and can be overwhelming for the new player. By dividing them in groups of related skills it is easier to evaluate the usefulness of each one of them.

Basic

Science skill is the necessary prerequisite for most of the skills in this group.

Research

Research is the science of improving the quality of original blueprints (BPO) and the creation of blueprint copies (BPC).

• Science allows to create BPCs faster.
• Research allows to improve time efficiency of the PBOs faster.
• Metallurgy allows to improve the material efficiency of BPOs faster.
• Laboratory Operation allows to have more than one research job.
• Advanced Laboratory Operation same as the previous one for a max. of 10 simultaneous jobs.
• Scientific Networking allows to place research jobs remotely.

Invention

Invention is the art of creating Tech 2 BPCs based on a Tech 1 BPC. You need some specialized equipment (datacores, data interface, optionally a decryptor) too attempt the creation of a Tech 2 BPC. You need some specialized skills too.

datacores

• Research Project Management allows to use more than one R&D agent, these agents are the main source of Datacores.

specialized skills

The following skills are necessary to create Tech 2 PBCs. Two skills are needed for each particular BPC. All these skills require Science V.

Requiring also Mechanics V

• Amarr Starship Technology Amarr ships
• Caldari Starship Technology Caldari ships
• Gallente Starship Technology Gallente ships
• Minmatar Starship Technology Minmatar ships
• Mechanical Engineering starships, hull & armor repair
• Molecular Engineering hull, propulsion
• Rocket Science missile propulsion

Requiring also Electronics V

• Electronic Engineering electronics and drones
• Nanite Engineering armor, hull
• Electromagnetic Physics railguns

Requiring also Engineering V

• Graviton Physics cloaking, graviton missiles & smartbombs
• High energy Physics energy modules, smartbombs, lasers
• Hydromagnetic Physics shields
• Laser Physics lasers, EM missiles & smartbombs
• Nuclear Physics projectile weapons, nuclear missiles & smartbombs
• Plasma Physics particle blasters, plasma missiles & smartbombs
• Quantum Physics shileds, particle barriers

Note that the skill astronautics engineering does not exist (yet)

data interfaces

Data interfaces are manufactured using ingredients found in Hidden Complexes and in certain COSMOS.

Exploration

The science of probe launchers and how to find hidden complexes and other stuff in space (probably to be revamped when the expansion Apocrypha is launched in March 2009)

• Signal Acquisition allows faster scanning
• Astrometrics allowws more scan groups
• Astrometric Triangulation improves scan strength
• Astrometric Pinpointing improves scan accuracy

Hacking and Archaeology

These skills improve your ability to make and use High Tech items found in Hidden complexes and COSMOS sites. The Technology skills themselves are believed to be 'found' through the use of Archaeology or Hacking.

• Archaeology allows the use of Analyzer modules, needed to open cans in some exploration sites.
• Hacking allows the use of Codebreaker modules, needed to open cans in some exploration sites.

Skills needed to use the items found through Hacking and Archaeology:

• Sleeper Technology
• Takmahl Technology
• Talocan Technology
• Yan Yung Technology
• Amarr Encryption Methods
• Caldari Encryption Methods
• Minmatar Encryption Methods
• Gallente Encryption Methods

Boosters

• Biology allows the use of boosters
• Neurotoxin Recovery reduces the chance of side effects
• Nanite Control reduces the severity of side effects

Others

• Infomorph Psychology allows the use of jump clones
• Cybernetics allows the use of implants
• Astrogeology improves the yield of mining turrets
• Thermodynamics allows overloading components, increasing their abilities, but causing them damage.
• Jump Portal Generation reduces the cost of generating a jump portal (useful only for Titan and Black Ops pilots)
• Cloning Facility Operation allows operation of a Cloning Vat Bay (Capital ships only)
• Doomsday Operation allows operation of a doomsday device (a Titan's only weapon).
