Default Re: A research question

Yep, spreading your research points out among multiple projects is less efficient than putting them all in one at a time.

The case where I'd like to be able to allocate a specific percentage to multiple projects (instead of evenly dividing it) is when I want to research a very expensive item, like say, gas colony, but without putting a halt on all other research progress for many turns. So I would put maybe 5-20% research onto that and leave the rest for quicker goals. You can sort of have the same effect with SE4's dividing the point evenly system, but then I couldn't do a 90-10 split. And it's worse than that, because in SE4 with the even split, when a project is completed, and excess points allocated to it are lost.

As for the Wave Motion Gun - Star Blazers was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. The WMG was the Big Gun on the Yamato.
