Simultaneous Research

from Sins Forums
In Homeworld the more research ships you build the more research you can preform at the same time. Shouldnt it work the same way in Sins?

I think research happens pretty damned quickly as it is - I even think research should be slowed down a bit!

The only thing I would argue for is simultaneous Civic/Military research, but then I'd say make it a checkbox, and if activate they both go half speed?

Some people have mentioned it already. What everyne seems to want is the ability to be able to research civics and government at the same times since they are seperate now.

Currently building more research stations speeds up research. I think it shoud also lessen the cost by a few precentages. That way if you build more then 15 research staions you can get nice discounts for spending extra space and resources.

Just a thought, since the patch, there are both Civic and Military Research Facilities, thus research for civic/military should be concurrent and not sequential.

I will love you forever if you do that, it just seems like the way things should be, if not the research stations should go back to being one in the same.

Not really. So far income has been the major bottleneck in my games. Being able to research two items at once doesn't matter much when you can barely even afford two labs!

True, but later on when you can afford to push your tech up, its really anoying when you have a long list of tech to be researched and only one going at a time. Longest list ive had is about 7 techs waiting, i was focused to much on combat, didnt notice my supplies were so high...

What might be ok is maybe increasing the time it takes to research all items by 10-33%, in exchange to be able to research one in each area at a time?

Off-topic Question, when will we be able to research the artifacts, some of the settings/code for them makes me think they have multiple levels, IE like research. Is it a B4 thing? or am i just missreading the files?

they used to be a research available if you found the artifact... now instead you pay to explore and can find artifacts and have their powers be immediate.

The games seems to want more credits for everything , at this point I don't have the option to research anything in muliplayer, as I need to have ships being made...
