Not fully researched..wtf?

from Sins Forums

so i researched EVERYTHING , the icon even turned grey yet after the match it said my ally had about 4 more non-combat research than me (and that I had 1 more combat ). I was advent and he was TEC, tho when we reversed that the same thing happened, and i know he's not cheating in anyway...is the end-game graph just messed up or is there something else that counts as research for non-combat and combat. i know planets are counted seperately so it's confusing me

umm I couldn't understand that. Is there something you researched that you can't build or use. What are you trying to do?

In the end-game graph it's saying my ally had more research completely than me no matter what race he was when we both maxed out our research. It's not really a problem, it's just confusing as to how he can possibly do more research than me when we both max out all our research. I guess my question is, is there some other thing that counts as "research" that isn't actually in the research (F2) tree?

TEC has more technologies to upgrade than Advent, it's that simple :-P

He researched them before you did.

simply put advent has an ability that allows you to research atleast 33% faster than other races. Since he Finished researching before you did the graph says he did more research than you. I know this for a fact cause its happened to me while I play advent and only research like 10 things while a Vasari player researched the same amount and had less than I did.

That's not true either, I finished all my research about 30 minutes before he did in both cases.

thats bizzare then. I have nothing in my experience that can explain that it must be technical then.

I think special artifacts on planets count as research.

Sorry, I misread you there.  This one doesn't make sense to me, either.  Unless you're missing something (like fleet research or maybe artifacts, as someone else suggested) this seems like some sort of bug.  Reminds me of when the end-game statistics would actually say you had a negative amount of frigates at the end if you used the illuminator's illusion ability.  Just a funny little bug, and there's probably something silly happening that's screwing up the statistics.
