- | You can assign one or more research points to assist another character's research. Specify which research points you wish to assign to another character, what you wish to assist them with, and their character ID, and they will be added to their current research. These transferred points can only be used to research an object or help create an Invention prototype. They cannot be used to teach other characters, theorise new Inventions or produce exotic substances. | + | [{{ :image:science:ascendancy_science_byagentbsmith.jpg?300|<html><font color=black>Research collaboration can be a complex process</font></html>}}]You can assign one or more research points to assist another character's research.

- | Scientists can spend their time in between events searching for or synthesising [[Exotic Substances]]. Every Research Point used in this way gains the scientist a random exotic substance of the relevant type - [[exotic particles]] for [[etheric science]], [[exotic reagents]] for [[corporeal science]] or [[exotic biotics]] for [[life science]]. If you use your Generic Research Point to this use, you will receive a random [[exotic substances|exotic substance]] from any of the three areas. If you don't specify how your Research Points are used, they will default to this option. | + | Scientists can spend their time in between events searching for or synthesising [[Exotic Substances]].
