Here's a run down of what's changed:

•You can now look up Memory Alpha R&D progress and recipes at any time by using the drop down on the mini map, however you MUST be standing near an appropriate console at Memory Alpha to create the item. The create button will light up when you are standing near the console. Opening the appropriate computer console at Memory Alpha also brings up the R&D UI.
•There are 7 areas of research. All players start with Basic. Once you max out your Basic level skill, the other 3 stores (Energy, Physical, Technology) will open up. These stores also have advanced recipes that can be learned once you’ve maxed out the standard items.
•The research skill you will receive is listed to the left of each item.
•Items you cannot make yet, will be grayed out. The skill required to make the item is listed next the recipe component requirements.
•Recipes have been reviewed and number of components needed reduced in some cases
•There are vendors at Memory Alpha that sell basic components needed in R&D recipes
•Any Memory Alpha progress you had prior, will be converted to the approximate new skill amounts. Due to some store restructuring, this may mean that some items you were previously able to make may require more skill than you have now, but it will be close.

These changes are intended to make progression at Memory Alpha clearer and to allow you to see all available items ahead of time and plan out which path in research you will focus on first. There are no limits and all players at any level can max out all research paths.

We welcome all suggestions and feedback. Either myself or the designer (Josh) will be responding and commenting on feedback in this thread.
