Skill Points?

I agree with Jean Arnaud, as he pointed out Tsagoth's explanation wasn't very clear.

I never believed it was just a T6 skill.

I already won one game by solar tapping, and I only did that because I couldn't enter the center after having that skill.

I actually suspect it's a combination of skills much like viewing black holes. I suspect it's leveling up certain skills to level 6 (this might be Tech6), as well as combining other skills. On Lamashtu I've made some friends who will allow me to experiment until I figure it out.

I suspect the center requires being able to detect anomolies as well as being able to to cloak... I also suspect it requires being able take heavy damage... so there's some Level6 skills required... to take damage.

One bit of knowledge that highlights the difficulty here (and the importance of targeting the tier 6 skills) is that if we focused only on tier 1 and tier 2 skills, after 60 days, we would have only 120 points (non-researcher) or 160 points (researcher).

Astrophysics at level 7, and still no access to the centre of the map.

Working on Hyperspace Physics now.

I'm also pretty sure I am TL6… but maybe I calculated wrong… I just don't know….

Again, I don't think that specific techs have any bearing. What calculation are you using to conclude that you are at tech level 6? Take a look at my posts on page 2 of this thread. I do not believe tech level 6 is currently possible even for researchers. The best I could caclulate (before the server ends) using various math permutations was 252 points, which is tech level 5.833.
