that 16 ticks was ment to b the time that the research takes to get it ... im not good in these things as u can see hehe, but just tho thought that it was just one way to make scanning more easier to be done for new players or allianceless players - giving em first 4 res with 1 a bit longer research but still ppl can do dists if they wanna play it that way, without having to worrie that more ppl can scan em now or something.. as there aint that many dist whores either then ppl without dedicated scanners also have a decent chance to get their scans done by themselves.. just simply shortens the time for scans..
