From what I heard it was in the Beta, but taken out before the launch, but the Req option still is shown during BE Tissue Assembly.


Similar to the CA Grenade Experimentation & Assembly Mods

Originally Commandos were going to craft their own grenades in the Beta, but for launch they were moved to Weaponsmith, but the useless mods still remain.

The funny thing is that people see that it says Experimentation or Assembly and charge millions for those useless SEAs

Actually, they couldn't have been in beta. All the current BE food tissues were re-done from scratch (and new ones added) during the chef revamp last January/February, and the pre-revamp tissues did not have the research data slot.


I think the devs just wanted the option of "loot enhancements" for foods, and the easiest way to implement that was through the tisues. But due to balance concerns (especially with the ever-delayed combat revamp), those loot enhancements have not been added yet. From a programming standpoint, it's probably easier to put in a "stub" enhancement slot even though the item to fill that slot isn't available than it is to re-do the tissue schematics later when the enhancement is added.

I believe this is either in the FAQ or teh FAFAQ.

The slot has been sitting there for a year now, and the item has yet to be put in the game.

We do know that it will be a single use item when it does arrive though.

It's too secret for them even to tell people, let alone let them drop so people can show others.

Oh, okay

same principle, different time of implementation


Its been so long since the launch anyway I forget

Not like I was using BE Additives back then anyway

I was hand sampling oats and rice, in my camp and sporting my dorky green headwrap

You have to research it.

Secretly.

Yeah.

For those of you who joined us late, this is one of the sick little jokes the developers play on us. Sort of like the frenzied graul (baby) was on CHs prior to the CU.


The "secret research data" apparently does not exist, it's to be introduced at a later date, and when it is it you won't be able to make a factory run of uber Intelligent Nanonutrients; it will be a one shot one INN event.

I found it in BSN and MSN as an optional stat. Does it affect the stats on these items or is it useless? And what is supposed to occupy that slot.

There is no secret research data, at this point. There has never been. It was introduced a long while back with the intention of actually making it a lootable item (or something along those lines), but never made it - or hasn't yet.

You can rest assured that nobody was/is/will be making tissues with the secret research data for a while, with all of the other things they have to fix. Then again, this is SOE, so it could happen in another couple years. Chances are that it'd actually make the tissues worse though - obviously, I have little faith remaining in the developers ability to come up with useful, helpful items/fixes.
