Eldred Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I had always presumed that a "minor research breakthrough" gives you the equivalent of 1 SRP. However on my level 2 tech (27 turns) they appear to give me 2 SRPs each. Is this correct? Do they give variable bonuses? What is the formula? BTW, has any ever made a "major research breakthrough"?

cestvel Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 To me they seem to give a random value between 1-4 SRP, but leaning twoards the higher end. Cestvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cestvel <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure, but, the value may also be based on the level of the scientist involved in the breakthough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakarissa Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'm not sure on the total amount a breakthru gives me, but am extremely happy when I get 7 breakthrus on a tech like 3G Species Engineering. Got 3 of the 7 on this past turn to fully research it. I love my scientists! *does white lizard happy dance* Sakarissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was easily spotted, as it was a 12 RC item. Or were you referring, that higher Scientist tend to do more RC's worth of breakthrough? As for that one breakthrough of a Scholar does not give a statistics base :-) But I think the level of a scientist increases only its chance for a breakthrough. My Master Scientist are pretty close to 50%. Cestvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 There are many variables and not every breakthrough is worth the same amount. Some of this is based on available installations and such and some based on character level. Higher level characters will generally give you more frequent breakthroughs and bigger returns when the do breakthrough. There are many theories floating about that sort of work, some of the time.

Ur Lord Tedric Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Ever since the Research Progress bars appeared we've been doing our best to track research breakthroughs as closely as possible...... From our calculations it almost seems that Scientist Breakthroughs run from 2 to 8 RCPoints - indeed also seeming to stick to even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8). Get a few of the higher ones on a single tech and it starts to come in very quickly indeed. Chief Scientist to Ur-Lord Tedric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Scientist to Ur-Lord Tedric <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do scientific installations make a difference in the number of points or frequency of breakthroughs? I have several scientists and breakthrough seem to come rarely and only for a few points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
