There are 2 mislinked or copy/paste errors that popped up in the game as I was speed researching for fun to test things and I noticed them. It Seems like they are placeholders or the wrong column in the database is being used.

Aresius mentioned something about these in this thread but wasn't sure if it was the same issue:

The last one also doesn't give you anything, I had all the other field researched to max, so this unlocks nothing?

I have already fixed both some time ago

So it will all be cool in the new release. Thanks Kaladin.

It has been cool for the last few (internal) releases.
Those were some of the first things I fixed IIRC.

I figured theyd be fixed fast but mentioned them incase.

Any word on the "RA_DESC_GRAVIMETRICS" research giving any tech? or am I mistaken? I had all the other fields maxed out and when this one researched it gave nothing visable, to me meaning it wasn't a prereq for anything (building, ship, etc.). Is it going to be effective in other ways like further increasing bonuses from earlier?

At this point the last research level only unlocks the top of the line ship for each empire. In the case of the Feds, the Tactical Cruiser. I already fixed the inability to build it too.
Not all of the empires had their top ship at level 11, but I've fixed that too.

What was the cause of this ship problem Iceman? I never did figure that out myself.

It had to do with the Gravimetrics problem.
