New player questions :)

from Sins Forums

Hey, I apologise if these questions have been answered elsewhere, i had a brief look around for a thread answering my questions but no success.

#1 Do the number of Research stations affect how quickly you research? I'm aware that i need X number of stations to research whatever tech, but if i'm trying to research the novolith cannon for example, which requires 8 stations, will building 16 let me research it in half the time? And if extra does speed up the rate of research would you say it's worth it?

#2 Do all of the achievements have to be done in a single match? I'm aware obviously "Win a match with TEC" and similar have to be done in one match, but what about say, buying 10,000 crystals on the black market? Can i do this over multiple games or do i just need to buy as much crystal as possible in a single game?

Those are all my questions for now, i appreciate any help :)

Elivercury.

No and no.

Regarding #2, I'm pretty sure the resource ones do need to be done in the same match, as well as things like "have 100 squadrons of strike craft". But it has been half a year since I did them, so I may be off.

Er... I think it's no. Could be wrong since I haven't done any lately either...

100 squads of SC are in one match. It's the resource one that I'm no longer sure on.

Fairly sure each achievement has to be within a single game

e.g. build X or sell Y needs to be within a game

Hence some can be done at the same time, but some are mutually exclusive, such as win by only doing X while another is win by only doing Y (e.g. using only caps or not building caps...)

achievements have to be done durign a single game, since each game you start from the beginning.
