Devnull - the AI will always keep 4 research projects in the queue. It will add projects in the order that is in the research file provided it has the prerequisite already satisfied. Thus, like projects have to be spaced at least 3 projects apart so that when it goes to add the next one, it will just have completed any prerequisite.

Example 1 (would not work):

Ship Construction 2
Chemistry 1
Armor 1
Projectile Weapons 1

Example 2 (would work):

Chemistry 1
Ship Construction 2
Projectile Weapons 1
Military Science 1
Armor 1

b/c it will just have completed "Chemistry" prior to adding Armor 1

This is all b/c the line item specifying 25, 50 and 100 does not currently work. Sometimes the 100 will limit it to 3 active items, but we have not yet nailed it down yet. Also, God Emperor has a mod that creates a "filler tech" so that you do not have to wait for 3 full projects to complete.

Hope this helps - there are also several good threads from Last month on this.
