Tygan is worth 2 scientists. Each scientist provides 120 points of research a day.
Code: Select all
ResistanceCommunications 1250
ModularWeapons 760
AlienBiotech 1300
HybridMaterials 2000
LaserWeapons 4000
AdvancedLasers 4000
*BasicResearchProject 5200
Assuming we are super unlucky and gain zero scientists throughout the entire experiment, research totals out to 13310/240=55.5 days if we completely ignore Basic Research as per conventional wisdom. I rank these techs at what order I usually research them.
Code: Select all
RC at 5.2 days.
MW at 8.4 (suppressors!!)
AB 13.8 (AP! AWC!)
HM 22.1 (Tracer! Nanoscale Vest!)
LW 38.8 (first and free Laser Rifle)
and finally finish Advanced lasers at day 55.5 of campaign.
Code: Select all
RC at 25.2 days.
MW at 27.3 (suppressors!!)
AB 30.9 (AP! AWC!)
HM 36.5 (Tracer! Nanoscale Vest!)
LW 47.6 (first and free Laser Rifle)
and finally finish Advanced lasers at day 58.7 of campaign.
Of course, we can slot in Basic Research whenever we want to, maybe after Resistance comms.
I hope this helps and clarifies some of the murkiness behind this enigma called "Basic Research".
