Is the word SOL in all caps in game? It looks kinda weird here. It's not an abbreviation or anything. --[[User:Adoncia|Adoncia]] ([[User talk:Adoncia|talk]]) 23:29, 21 November 2013 (MST)

Research

2013-11-22T04:09:05Z

Rook42: Glory insert.

==Research==
The Research Lab terminal can be accessed in the Laboratory.
It brings up options for fighting Mush, increasing the glory for Humans and gives a couple useful commodities.

A BIOS setting can limit research to be done only by Biologists and Medics.
You have to be clean (not dirty) to be able to do research, so wearing the [[Stainproof Apron]] when participating is recommended.

Many of the research options only become available when certain items or people are present.
If these conditions are not met, the research option is not visible, but the progress made on them is preserved.
*The most important items for research are
**[[Mush Sample]], this can be later replaced by a Xyloph DB entry
** [[Mush Genome Disk]] can be obtained by finishing a Xyloph DB entry
*The presence of Zhong Chun in the Laboratory, can be replaced by a Xyloph DB entry later
* The death of a Mush agent (the place of death is irrelevant, it can be even outside Daedalus)

Participating in research costs 2 AP, and the efficiency depends on the skills [[Biologist]] and [[Medic]]. The CPU Priority settings in BIOS can also affect this.

The glory gained for certain research projects is immediately obtained by all living humans upon completion, and an additional glory can be earned when reaching [[Sol]] or [[Eden]].
[[Chun]] earns an additional 4 {{glory}} each time a research requiring her presence is completed.
[[Finola]] earns an additional 3 {{glory}} for all Mush-related research.

==List of Research projects==
There are a total of 23 possible researches.

Communications

2013-11-21T08:47:13Z

Rook42: Removing revision caution

[[Image:Com.jpg|left]] Communications with Sol provide rich and powerful bonuses.

The Communications Panel is located on the bridge and accessible by everyone. Anyone may help establish the link to Sol, but everything else is reserved to Communications Officer.

The [[hacker kit]] does not override these settings.

The [[antenna]] in the Engine Room influences communications:

* If it is down, actions cost 1 AP more.
* If it is enhanced by the spatial wave radar, the chances of making a connection with Sol are doubled.

{{Info|All communication begins with establishing a connection.
warning}}
This simple action can be performed by any member of the crewn and should be attempted by everyone at the start of the ship (but only once everyone has joined). The link provides morale points to the team and unlocks new abilities for Comms Officer.

If the contact fails,it will improve signal quality and increase the chances of contact at the next attempt. }}

== Link ==

[[Image:Sensor.gif|left]] Establishing contact with Sol is the prerequisite for everything else.

The first time this succeeds, NERON will announce: (tbd - grab text of announcement)
Ration 1
The signal starts at 0% at the beginning of the game.

2 [[image:pa_slot1.png]] AP or 1 [[Image:Pa_comp.png]] IT Point increases the signal strength by 4%, 6% in the presence of a radio expert or 8% if you are a radio expert. The stronger the signal strength, the more likely you will get a successful connection with Sol. As long as the contact is established, this button is replaced by "connection established"

The signal may drop:

* If you use the microwave
* By random chance. When the signal strength is low, this is more likely to happen.
* If the Daedalus hits debris or hunters while moving (rumored, no confirmation)
* If the communications panel is broken for any reason.

== Version ==

[[Image:neron_large.png|left]] NERON Version upgrades from the Communications Panel allows the Comms Officer to complete some random NERON projects before they appear a projects in the Heart of NERON.

The Version number starts at '''NERON v1.00''' and increases from there. 
1 is the version number and indicates which project number you are currently working on. 
00 is the percentage of completion toward the current project number.

After completing the first nine projects, the version number goes from v9.xx to v1.0xx to v1.1xx and so on.

2 [[image:pa_slot1.png]] AP or 1 [[Image:Pa_comp.png]] IT Point increases the completion percentage by a random amount, though the amount decreases with higher version numbers.

Once the project reaches 100% completion, it completes a randomly selected project among those that have never appeared as options in Heart of NERON.

If all projects have appeared in Heart of NERON, the version upgrade will not complete any project.

== Xyloph DB ==

{{caution|confirm names and descriptions}}

[[Image:xyloph.png|left]][[Image:xyloph complete.png]] Each database entry will (generally) provide some benefit to the ship and is often worth completing as soon as possible as some of the entries will help decode rebel base signals faster.

2 [[image:pa_slot1.png]] AP or 1 [[Image:Pa_comp.png]] IT Point decodes one Xyloph DB entry.

== Rebel Bases ==

Decoding rebel bases generally give large bonuses to the ship.

Once per day, a rebel base will attempt to contact the Daedalus. This will happen randomly between cycles 2 and 7 (inclusive) and will remain the same for the course of the ship. As long as contact with Sol has been established, NERON will announce when the rebel bases attempt to make contact.

2 [[image:pa_slot1.png]] AP or 1 [[Image:Pa_comp.png]] IT Point makes progress toward decoding the rebel base signal. Once the signal is 100% decoded, it will provide the bonus to the ship. The amount of AP required will vary based on whether Kivanc has been contacted through the Xyloph DB and/or the Rebel skill.

If the base is not fully decoded within a certain period of time, or if the Daedalus moves before the signal is decoded, the base will be lost forever and you will not receive that bonus.

Communications

2013-11-21T08:46:22Z

Rook42: Putting in standard/cooked actions per caution.

[[Image:Com.jpg|left]] Communications with Sol provide rich and powerful bonuses.

The Communications Panel is located on the bridge and accessible by everyone. Anyone may help establish the link to Sol, but everything else is reserved to Communications Officer.

The [[hacker kit]] does not override these settings.

The [[antenna]] in the Engine Room influences communications:

* If it is down, actions cost 1 AP more.
* If it is enhanced by the spatial wave radar, the chances of making a connection with Sol are doubled.

{{Info|All communication begins with establishing a connection.

This simple action can be performed by any member of the crewn and should be attempted by everyone at the start of the ship (but only once everyone has joined). The link provides morale points to the team and unlocks new abilities for Comms Officer.

If the contact fails,it will improve signal quality and increase the chances of contact at the next attempt. }}

== Link ==

[[Image:Sensor.gif|left]] Establishing contact with Sol is the prerequisite for everything else.

The first time this succeeds, NERON will announce: (tbd - grab text of announcement)
Ration 1
The signal starts at 0% at the beginning of the game.

2 [[image:pa_slot1.png]] AP or 1 [[Image:Pa_comp.png]] IT Point increases the signal strength by 4%, 6% in the presence of a radio expert or 8% if you are a radio expert. The stronger the signal strength, the more likely you will get a successful connection with Sol. As long as the contact is established, this button is replaced by "connection established"

The signal may drop:

* If you use the microwave
* By random chance. When the signal strength is low, this is more likely to happen.
* If the Daedalus hits debris or hunters while moving (rumored, no confirmation)
* If the communications panel is broken for any reason.

== Version ==

[[Image:neron_large.png|left]] NERON Version upgrades from the Communications Panel allows the Comms Officer to complete some random NERON projects before they appear a projects in the Heart of NERON.

The Version number starts at '''NERON v1.00''' and increases from there. 
1 is the version number and indicates which project number you are currently working on. 
00 is the percentage of completion toward the current project number.

After completing the first nine projects, the version number goes from v9.xx to v1.0xx to v1.1xx and so on.

2 [[image:pa_slot1.png]] AP or 1 [[Image:Pa_comp.png]] IT Point increases the completion percentage by a random amount, though the amount decreases with higher version numbers.

Once the project reaches 100% completion, it completes a randomly selected project among those that have never appeared as options in Heart of NERON.

If all projects have appeared in Heart of NERON, the version upgrade will not complete any project.

== Xyloph DB ==

{{caution|confirm names and descriptions}}

[[Image:xyloph.png|left]][[Image:xyloph complete.png]] Each database entry will (generally) provide some benefit to the ship and is often worth completing as soon as possible as some of the entries will help decode rebel base signals faster.

2 [[image:pa_slot1.png]] AP or 1 [[Image:Pa_comp.png]] IT Point decodes one Xyloph DB entry.

== Rebel Bases ==

Decoding rebel bases generally give large bonuses to the ship.

Once per day, a rebel base will attempt to contact the Daedalus. This will happen randomly between cycles 2 and 7 (inclusive) and will remain the same for the course of the ship. As long as contact with Sol has been established, NERON will announce when the rebel bases attempt to make contact.

2 [[image:pa_slot1.png]] AP or 1 [[Image:Pa_comp.png]] IT Point makes progress toward decoding the rebel base signal. Once the signal is 100% decoded, it will provide the bonus to the ship. The amount of AP required will vary based on whether Kivanc has been contacted through the Xyloph DB and/or the Rebel skill.

If the base is not fully decoded within a certain period of time, or if the Daedalus moves before the signal is decoded, the base will be lost forever and you will not receive that bonus.
