Research Exploit
Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2013 4:57 am
This was recently brought to my attention:
While on the research console, shift-clicking an upgrade multiple times will take minerals correctly, while completing all research at lvl1 time-cost. Example, shift-clicking mining laser upgrade 6 times will give lvl 6 at 6x(lvl1 time). Also, using this for BC hull upgrade enables gaining multiple levels at the level 1 cost (for instance, 2000 extra HP for 200yellow/blue).
I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but I thought it should be properly reported. I apologize in advance to those who would like this to remain a 'pro-secret.'
