This option greatly changes the way alien research is performed. First, the amount of time required to complete all alien research projects is greatly increased. To compensate for this, the amount of time remaining on your active research projects will be reduced by a percentage based on the rank of each alien captured. The net effect is to make captures VERY important, unlike it is today. This option only effects new games. For more information, see the Research Help from Captured Aliens section below. This new feature is achieved by adding a table to XCOMUTIL.CFG that lists the contribution made by each rank of alien versus each research project. If you have multiple projects under development, the alien will contribute help to the project which would receive the most benefit. Each rank of alien will reduce the remaining work on a given project by a fixed percentage. For example, a captured alien engineer reduces the remaining time required to research UFO construction by 50%. Thus, if you have 1000 scientist/days of work left on the project, one engineer will reduce it from 1000 to 500, while then next one will reduce it another 50% from 500 to 250. The remaining time will never be reduced below 1 scientist/day. This allows all research to be completed normally by the game.
