> @Andrew Wiggin "... a BioLab of sorts, at least for the main base, doesn't seem likely since the Generals Quarters already does the job of giving mods to troops..." .

View it this way (cynically). The GQ "Mods" the Troop's "Body" (LevelsUp the Troops similar to Research but instead of upgrading "all Attributes" (like Reseach would do) it only upgrades a specific Attribute; which for some "Attributes" is particulary expensive or useless, unless over L10).

The GQ Attributes of "Damage", "Health", "Range", "Rate" and "Speed" even "Resources" (as it applies to Raiders, but no other Troop, for others it IS new) (see http://edgeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Generals#Skills) are what you would (like to) get from Researching Troops, Kabam simply divided the Attributes up and made you pay again for each one.

I would agree that the Attributes "Splash", "Concussion" and "Targets" are NOT what you would get out of "Research" and are like the "Resources" Attribute (except as it applies to Raiders, for those Troops, only, it IS "Research").

The "BioLab" I proposed would not modify the Troop's "Body" but instead the Troop's "Weapon", similar to the (cheating) Hack-Patch that gave the Pyro Troops the ability to use the Pulse Tank's "Beast Mode" at all times.

Since Vukice is a "Medic" and a Xenobiologist one would imagine that what he stole was the Plans for something that 'Borg-ed' the Troops not with "Machinery" (like the Borg) but with other's Part's (thus affecting their Weaponry; like the Terraknor Control or the Bomba's RocketBackpack is "BioMechanical") from other Species.

We shall see in a week or two and as I suggested it will have "Bugs" (unlike the GQ which seemed a fairly complex addition and works without any Bugs at all - shocked o.0 ).

So this new "BioLab" will allow "Research" that, for (a dumb) example, gives Marines 'Mirrors' (to fight Sniper Turrets) or gives Devastators 'WaterCannons' (to fight Incendiary and Tesla Towers) - I'm not saying "Mirrors" or "Water" WILL be what we get, just a dumb (FAST) way of attemptting to explain the Category of the Modification (IE: "The "Mod" will affect the Troop's Weapon and not their Body).
