Research of datacores
When you capture an alian craft you get a datacore that is then destroyed.
Question: What is a Datacore?
Is it a processor or a Storage device?
If a processor what about researching it and then being able to sell it to the supporting countries. ie. Auto sell like plasma pistols etc.
If it is a storage device then once researched it might allow a small boost to radar detection.
Example: Light scout datacore researched > gives 5% short range boost and 1% long range boost to radar capabilities due to finding communication info about the alians on the data core.
Once capped on radar boosts eg. 50% then it wouldn't be such a jump if we do get the hyperwave rely eventually
I think that we would get some info from the datacores as to how they communicate and would be able to search for communications.
