Tech Question

[Demon]

Lets say I am working on ship construction, and will finish it this turn with 15 thou left over points. Lets say for some reason I dont have DUCs yet, but I want to go through all the levels. Is there any way to get the game to repeat DUCs, without repeating ship contsruction, and without wasting the 10 thou that will be left after I get ship construction and level 1 dUCs?

Basically, no. Unlike building queues, research points will overflow to the next project, but if you do not have a next project, the points are lost. You cannot research DUC's 2 until Duc's 1 is complete. Your best bet is to put something in the queue to absorb the overflow, then move DUC's back to the top on the next turn.

You might as well put a big project that you know you'll want later in there to soak up the excess points.

Propulsion or mines are good, as is just about any theoretical tech.
