Wishlist: High level design thoughts

[MattII]

One thing that did always get me about Space Empires (and other games that featured similar aspects, like Heroes of Might and Magic) was the whole issue of set research levels. I'd like to see someone at least try to do away with that, just give us a line to research and let the components appear anywhere (like say one at 5000 research points, and one at 6500, etc).
