That costs lots of PSI points though. :sweat:

i always play navy, maxing out strength/endurance/agility and hack/normal weapons
get maintenance and cyb to 4, and research to 2 or 3 and pretty much ignore everything else
standard playstyle is to hack everything, melee everything (except exploding robots) until the cyb assassins, then break out the rifle - by this time i have enough ammo and maintenance tools to run n gun the rest of the game - and that's exactly what i do
i keep meaning to play a game as psi, just to experience the other side, and i even started a game recently
but i got to the first hack point and, well, I HAD NO HACK SKILL
i got scared and turned it off

I usually play as the marine, just so I can be all 'dakka-dakka-dakka-da(Click) poopy, gun jammed T.T' at the beginning.
Trying a game with the OSA for the first time, and I'm having real trouble getting into it; I dunno, I just... the spells (Clarke's Law (?) anyone?) are cute, but Cryokenisis doesn't really seem to hurt. Okay, I've only got PSI 2 atm, but when you have standard 1, and your pistol blows holes in almost anything even so, I can't help but shake the '.....eh.' feeling. :erg:

Why? :confused:

So he can research organs (and most implants), duh. And IIRC with the labassist, you can meet the requirement for stuff that needs research 4 too.

As far as I can remember, no researchable item in the game requires skill 2, and only one or two require 3. For me it's either research 1 or 4, and maybe 5 if I want the wormheart implant.

The Crystal Shard requires 4. Which means you can research it with Research 3 and a LabAssist.
The Viral Proliferator and Worm Mind implant require 3, which by the same logic means 2 skill.
The WormBlend implant would have needed a skill of 2 to research - if it had actually existed in the game.

Wormblend? Which one was that supposed to be again?

It was meant to make you harder to see by Annelids.

Summary: This implant decreases the range at which annelid creatures will be able to psionically detect the implant user.
Analysis: This implant contains a portion of annelid neural tissue, with electrochemical connections to slave the tissue to the user's neural impulses. The portion of tissue is not substantive enough to allow the user to psionically contact the annelid mind, but it does coordinate the user's brainwaves enough with the annelid neural processes that the user will, to a cursory psionic examination, resemble an annelid organism.
Recommendation: This will very likely allow its user to become harder to detect to annelid creatures, at least at a distance. It will probably not allow the user to pass for an annelid in face-to-face contact.

I got that one pretty frequently with Crion's mod, and I quickly found out why it was left out of the game when I tried it out.
