[New Feature]: Research Delivery #11393

Describe the feature request

I'd like it if we could do more with technology disks. Currently they are only used to complete a generic antagonist objective.

When anything is researched, a Scientists should be able to print it (and only it alone) on a disk and deliver it to Cargo who would then send it to CC. In return, CC will provide items or materials depending on the research given. For example if life stasis beds are researched, then CC would send back a few of those boards along with the parts needed to construct them.

Ideally, these hands would exchange some goods. Science > Cargo > Engineering > Target department.

Practically, Engineering would not be involved as everyone is an Engineer.

Think this is also a buff and a nerf, as it can open up more methods of aquiring things without the required materials or related staff. All the while this can open up reasons to remove round-start researchable items such as the Life Stasis Bed in exchange for more later on.
