Science

Only a real brainy nemesis would name himself Dr.Inventor or something.. I dunno..

Introduction

Science is the skill used for inventing things with a Research Simulator or making skill checks on some science inventions such as Disruptors and PortalGuns. It is solely dependant on brains.

Common Scientific Methods

• The Standard Method This from what i can tell is what the admins think players were supposed to do. You put a random item into your Simulator of Choice, CLOSE THE SIM (you wouldn't believe how many people don't), and push start. Then select one of the fun little letter/number science ID numbers that look something like this: (E395). Now stick random items in the Simulator and close it, eventually after hours of inserting random things you might find what you're looking for (but you probably won't).

• The List Method Ok this method is a little more logical and commonly used. Put random items in the Simulator like The Standard Method except when the Simulator displays the research numbers of the item you put in write that part and all the numbers down on apiece of paper and reset the Simulator.This Method allows you to unlock multiple inventions at one time, however it can be annoying because the Simulator will only show up to three different ID numbers at one time for each part so you spend a lot of time trying to free up your circuit boards and quickmold plastic for the next invention.

• The ENEMA Method This method is probably the most used these days as it requires no real powers of deduction to operate. Simply place your first item in your Simulator, close it, push start, then select a ID number when it comes up. After you've selected the ID number you want to discover you mash on the start button of your Simulator until it tells you all the parts of whatever you're trying to discover. (Note: I labeled this the ENEMA method because they were the first corp I heard of doing this on a major scale, however someone else may have thought of it first and just been less open with it.)

Help!?

There is a TV-channel dedicated to science called SCI that will randomly show pieces of various inventions. You should also check out *rumors regularly as the Admins usually post something to the list if they add a new invention to the game.
