A research question

[LintMan]

Many 4x games have a slider or something so you can divvy up your research among different areas, with varying percentages to each. That would be more useful than SE4's equal division of points.

I think the game "Spaceward Ho!" (an old favorite of mine - anyone remember that one?) was set up that if you pumped lots of money into a single research area, you got diminishing returns for the extra money.
