Re: Help! Ran out of stuff to research!!
"I said I ran out of weapons I was interested in researching. "
What you said was:
"I think right now, you have a problem in which an advanced tech empire runs out of decent weapons to research about 70 turns into the game..."
Okay, you are saying you personally run out of weapons which you personally consider decent by turn 70. There is a big difference between that and a blanket statement saying there are no decent weapons left to research because you already did by turn 70. Sure you can research PPB's under 70 turns, what's your point ? I'm sure I could research the entire Point-defense tree in under 20. I'm not offended at all, btw.
"As to research being the fruits of the facilities not the facilities themselves, I'm afraid you've lost me there. All I'm saying is that you have a lot of wasted space being taken up by research facilities once there is nothing left to research. You would agree to that wouldn't you?"
No I wouldn't. If having those research facilities enabled you to build all these big, fancy ships with cool components, then how were they wasted when you've used them to their full potential?
If you don't want to scrap them and reclaim that space then that's your fault IMO. Yep, it will take time to replace them fully, but no more time than it did putting them up. Let's face it, if you've researched the entire tech tree you could have won the game a hundred or so turns prior.
