The 'Attachment' works Will, and I aprieciate your posting it, but as Fyron said the "Official" place to look is here..
First Chat Session wit Aaron Hall

I'd say the first chat was a quallified success, but don't forget if you can't make it of failed to get your question asked, just post it here and I'll get it to Aaron.

Cheers!

Yeah, it's a bit hard to see in the title section. But a success (and it went over 20 minutes past when it was supposed to!).

I must say after seeing the chat this afternoon I am even more excited about SEV! The way the combat is going to take place I think will be really neat.

Default SE3 Research

So, what is this SE3 research/intel model that will be used in SEV? How does it differ from SEIV?

Default Re: SE3 Research

It uses %'s in it. You have X amount of research points like in SEIV and you can take X% of that and put into any given tech, then another Y% into another and yet another. You can have it to where you have 1% of you total research points in 100(perhaps more?) different tech areas whereas you are limited to just 12 max areas of research in SEIV and really even less then that unless you turn on devide points evenly.

You can get the shareware for SE3 from www.malfador.com (under 2 MBs, possibly a lot less) and see exactly how it works.

Default Re: SE3 Research

The way research points accumulate (e.g., without compound interest) makes it preferable to put all points into a single project. MOO I had a sort of strange system where spreading research around was beneficial, but as long as doubling research allocation halves research time (that is to say, as long as research "flow" and time are perfectly inversely proportional) spreading research is detrimental.

For example:

If you have 4 projects of 1000 RP each, and you get 1000 RP per turn, sharing the research gives you 4 advances on turn 4... but focusing research gives you one advance per turn. The more you spread research, the worse off you'll be...

Was there some hidden advantage to spreading research in SE3, like compound interest or decreasing gains?
