Default Re: Research priority?

Depends on how many starting resources I have to work with. I like to start with one of the most expensive techs I can get in one turn.

For a 100K start, I'll often take Resupply 2, or two 50K theoretical sciences, like Chemistry + Industry, or one of those plus a racial tech area. Then one more tech to catch any leftover points.

20K is usually Ship Construction 2, or part of a racial tech.

5K is usually Projectile Weapons 2, or part of a racial tech.

I do turn off "Divide Points Evenly" on the first turn, but I often turn it back on later. I'll put an expensive tech at the end of the queue, with one or more cheaper and more urgent techs ahead of it. I'll micromanage it and turn "Divide" off when I can finish the first tech in the queue in one turn.
