Selling Science?

[vernal kestrel]

Could we maybe sell excess science to an Earth company for money; a small but useful amount so that you aren't sitting on giant piles of science near the end of the game with nothing to do with it...

Pretty much a reverse version of the science purchasing you can do with the lab boys in the tutorial... Obviously the science you sell would be way cheaper than the science you can buy (for obvious balancing reasons), but it puts some of that excess science to use when you really have no other use for it... Or when you need an emergency cashflow option...

I wouldn't mind seeing that change.

probably should be part of the social tech tree

copy/pasting my reply from #ideas-voting

[11:03 PM]Knofbath: unused science should translate to passive income automatically
[11:04 PM]Knofbath: would help the softlock situation where you can't afford to actually ship anything, without needing the 50k 30k cash injection
[11:06 PM]Knofbath: and I'm sure lots of players haven't noticed that the overflow science is wasted
