[Repo Man]

True, as I recall, either MOO or MOO2 (or both) had such a system, as does Stars!. That other games use this system doesn’t change the underlying math … applying a portion of a specific amount of research points to several tech projects is less efficient than concentrating one at a time. All good Stars! players know this. I didn’t play MOO 1 or 2 multiplayer, but realized early on that dividing tech offered no benefit whatsoever.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of multiple research items. That’s why I think it should be more efficient to research several projects at once. But under the current system, you can bet your Last Wave Motion Gun that I will research my projects sequentially.

BTW, does anyone know the true source of the Wave Motion Gun?
