Hey, related question: I know the skill of your xenology team determines the success rate of your recovery operations, but do you have to leave the team at the dig to benefit, or is it set when the team finishes translating?You can move the team once it has finished the translation.

But you can go into SM mode, open "View Race" and change the skill level there

« on: September 12, 2010, 10:22:36 PM »How long is it supposed to take for a xenology team to exploit ruins before your engineers can move in? I ask because I've had a damn good team sitting on a ruin for, like, 5 years now; I'm starting to think it's being buggy. Does my -31 translation skill impact this?
