What do other stations have that we don't?

[misto]

maybe rather than having to invent new items to research and develop in the rnd zone

we could consider locking some currently existing goodies behind a research interface? that will at least cut down on having to think up and code in new prizes. hopefully nothing too needed for station operation but if its useless extra junk then nobody will bother researching it. what items do you think would be good candidates for it?

it could have some crossover with artifact research in allowing you to research and replicate good artifacts you find too, maybe eventually culminating in the development of those artifact organs that ppl liked a while back

or maybe research a doohickey that you install in the telesci computer does the drat math calculations for telesci for you. its no loss, i know all you guys already have your spreadsheets and shit for it
