	*Eliminate the need to possess an object (either artifact or live alien) before researching it. Warning: this one's a bit odd: change bytes <b>02-04</b> to 00 00 11. This will make "NOT USED" appear in the list of research topics (it is the name of the Laser Cannon Tank - a project not used by the game). Research "NOT USED", and once it is completed, you will have access to the UFOpaedia entry access to any research that is lower in the research tree, and access to the relevant production capabilities.		*Eliminate the need to possess an object (either artifact or live alien) before researching it.
