Ok, so I am going to be using | Ok, so I am going to be using Mumble to give the class. What I'd like to do is to use the in-game Class.E-UNI channel for any questions you might have as I go along and keep Mumble quiet. I will be watching the channel and if you ask a question I am going to cover in a few minutes then please don't think I am ignoring you, I will get to it. Also, if topics come up that might need some time to discuss, I've got 20 minutes at the end and we'll cover larger topics then. | ||
For the class, I am going to run through research first, looking at a blueprint in detail and then covering the various research you can do on one and the skills involved. For those who know a little about research already, I intend to cover Invention in detail at the end. After covering the research side of things, I'll go into production, the skills involved and cover a little bit on how to get into production for profit. I'll finally cover invention, which is the production of tech 2 goods using invented tech 2 blueprints. | For the class, I am going to run through research first, looking at a blueprint in detail and then covering the various research you can do on one and the skills involved.
