Relaying
Relaying is the process of resetting each other's efficiency in work involving Research, NERON Projects and PILGRED Reactor repairs.
How it works
When you participate in one of the types of projects listed above, you progress its development by a certain percentage. Repeated participation keeps reduces that efficiency, meaning that a single character cannot burn through their 
gauge to finish a project immediately, as their efficiency will keep dropping all the way down to 0%. Efficiency reductions follow a pattern as they wear down, one notch for each repetition: 9-13%, 7-10%, 5-7%, 3-4%, 1-1%, 0% etc.
If another person contributes, any other participant's efficiency is reset to full. Thus, the most efficient way to participate in research/a project/PILGRED repairs is for two characters, preferably with Skills beneficial to the work in question, to alternate working on it. This will guarantee that their and/or special skill points like 
, 
etc. are spent as efficiently as possible.
Related skills
A large number of skills increase a character's efficiency for certain NERON's Core projects; see the NERON Projects page for details.
Biologist and 
Medic increase a character's base Research efficiency, making relaying more valuable for them.
NERON's only friend - Having this skill in the crew means that NERON project efficiency will be at a flat percentage, rather than a random number of out a range. This means that, for example, a project where you'd usually have a base efficiency of 13-17% etc. will have an efficiency of 17%. Efficiency still drops upon repeated participation, however.
