RB and hotdogs

[Watboy]

I remember the old business model of selling hot dog buns in 6 packs and hot dogs in 8 packs. You would have to either eat a lot of hot dogs, or have wastage. It is a slimy business practice that WG seems to have adopted.

The cumulative total research points regrinding a line is 500, 1000, 2500, 4000, 10000. Colbert is 57k, Ohio is 62k, combined its 119k.

There's no easy way to hit the exact amount you need, and practically no one is going to abandon a line early. You are pretty much guaranteed to have scrap amounts of research points. There's no use of the scraps except for buying Free XP. I'm not that much of a fan of RB to begin with, but I would have much preferred a more honest system of certain number of regrinds for a ship (say 4 for Colbert, 5 for Ohio), then this deception that research points is some sort of fungible/divisible currency of value.
