Research>Credits exploit.

[flabortast]

It seems whenever I replay an old mission that gives me research points, I am able to convert them to credits. I have a mission several times and took the research opportunities in each and I got credits for it every time. Is this intended by Blizzard?

I'm pretty sure that this topic has more to do with the game than lore itself. So it has been moved.

[dustinbrowder]

of course its intentional, its why it works in that way, duh.

WTF are you talking about, you can't farm cash in campaign!

If it is research you haven't earned before maybe it is intentionnal, but if you are re-earning the same research point over and over you should post this on blizz forum asap.

I would report it immediately, what's the fun about abusing the game? I got every upgrade yeepy! =|

It is a bug, bugs must be reported, especially abuse. It is not a multip;layer abuse so no one QQ about it, but it must be patched. You guys in here got wierd mentality...

I don't think it's a bug. It makes sense somewhat...Replay an older mission and gain the research points anyway.

EDIT: Wait, does it also give you cash for simply completing the mission? If it doesn't, then this might be a bug. If it does, then it's probably a feature.

Yes, it is a bug. It has been around since release though, and people have known about it for nearly as long. Basically you can do a mission you have already done that has research points and get the credits for it over and over (and some people mentioned that if you dont cash them in for a while, it does grow larger and if you repeat the missions with it at that larger value then you get that much each time you complete it). You dont even need to get research points to do it, just finish a mission and go cash in again (so you can do the first mission that takes like 4 minutes to complete).

Intentional is that you can earn research in the archives you didn´t get in the first playthrough.

The bug/exploit is that the game doesn´t remove the research you "sold". That means you keep your excess research and can sell it again after an archive mission.

What makes you so sure it's a bug then?
You said it yourself, you get money for the mission. You don't even have to get all research objects in the mission.

That sounds like it's a feature. Blizzard QA wouldn't miss something so obvious. The dev team left it in on purpose. Besides, it's campaign, not MP.
