I notice that researching the alien armor gives you the option of researching then constructing composite armor; but the concurrent production requires "alien materials". Nothing in the research briefing or report indicates that would be the case (they mainly talk about techniques for manufacturing carbon nanotubes for it). I suspect that "alien materials" will show up in another research branch, but I was wondering if it would be worth reporting as a bug, a suggestion to change the research briefing, or if this is working as intended.

Let's ask BTAxis. The requirement was added intentionally AFAIR but if it conflicts with the description/story line we should either remove it or change the description.

It's not a bug. The composite armour is meant to require alien materials. It's not explicitly mentioned in the writeup, but I don't see that as a problem per se. If people think it should be mentioned, then the writeup can be edited to that effect..

We have discussed it with BTAxis and decided to remove the requirement.
