Research

Researching allows you to convert salvage into materials, which can then be crafted into weapons, equipment and talents. Research requirements for these are to be put in their respective categories.

Researching requires time, materials and/or components, and energy.

Energy
Energy is spent when starting a research project, and recharges at a rate of 5 energy per minute.

Your energy cap increases as you level up.

(To do: How much energy each level)

Salvage
Salvage can be collected either as a reward for leveling up, or collected during matches. During matches, only one item of salvage can be held at a time, and must be successfully extracted in the drop ship at the end of the match, or it is lost. (Please check if it is still collected if only one team member successfully extracts). You then deconstruct it through the research screen, which provides you with a number of materials.



Research Tiers
To upgrade your research level, you must complete a number of research projects to unlock the next tier. Then, click on the research stations at the top of the screen, where you will have to provide the materials needed to get access to the next tier of research options.

Materials
You can disassemble materials into Nanites, which can then be used to craft materials you need.

Disassembling provides the following quantities of nanites:

Tier 1: 30

Tier 2: 50

Tier 3: 100

Tier 4:

Tier 5:

Components
Components are required for Tier 2 research, and must be constructed with materials. Components can be disassembled into their parts; unlike disassembling materials, you receive all the parts back.

(to do: make a table of all components and required materials, time, etc)
