This idea may get shot down quickly, as it may hurt the balancing of the game, but I would love to be able to divide the RP I generate each turn between two or even three techs. If I'm generating 100 RP per turn, I would love to be able to gain two 500 RP techs in ten turns at the same time as opposed to five turns for one then another five turns for the second. It would really be helpful if I needed to work on two branches at once, like Politics for Exchanges and Capital Ships for new ship upgrades.
What do you guys think? Has anyone given it any thought? Would it harm the flow of the game or just add a new layer of strategy? Any ideas to improve it?

Would this make any difference apart from delaying the arrival of the first tech?

You can already do this. Just choose the tech you want, then click on buy. It will automatically become a concurrent project, with everything else. phantombudgie: Yes. If your RP is 60, and you research one 150RP project after another, it will take 6 turns. Concurrently, 5. |

lazarus - yep, this is how the game works already!

lazarus - yep, this is how the game works already! Does the game divide the RP 50/50? The reason I was asking about this was a certain situation. Say I bring in 100 RP per turn, I'm working on a 500 RP tech but I also wanna start a new section of the tree that costs 50 per tech. I could learn that 50 tech in one turn but the other 50 RP would go to waste. I would much rather put half towards the 50 tech to complete it and the other half towards the 500 tech. So this already works in the way I've described above and I just never noticed? Can I decide how to divide it or does the game just divide it evenly? Can I split between more than just two techs or is it just all in one tech or split between two? |

The game divides your RP evenly between all research projects.

The game divides your RP evenly between all research projects. Awesome! Thanks for the info. One final question on this topic. I know I'm splitting hairs here, but how does the game handle the fractions? If I'm generating 49 RP how does the game divide it? Round down and give each project the same amount? The first project begun gets the extra point? I doubt the game would bother tracking partial points. Thanks again for the help, guys! :-) |
