Unlocks

Downtime

Research

Research is subdivided in three field. Science, Engineering and Lore. Unlocking things requires One or more of these points. Once you reach the required level of points for an unlock, you can make a Science, Engineering or Lore roll to unlock a certain item in that field. When you spend downtime on research you get 1 point per +1 in the skill, per week of downtime spent.
