SEV DEMO IS OUT!

[Suicide Junkie]

Hey, now. You're going the opposite way full throttle.

Indeed, mostly you should be focussing on one or maybe two projects.

In SE3, I would put 3% research into medicine, since I knew that that would give me the cures just in time for when they would be needed. (Or be close enough to be one turn from completion) Handy to set and forget.

I have also taken to putting 1% into all of the tech areas I want in the near future. Then I can use the "only in-progress" view, and shift the rest of my research back and forth between them.


To make the best use of the research scheme, having very fine tech levels with automatic/free upgrades to the component/facility abilities can be very effective.
That way, it dosen't matter if you spend 20% on Lasers, 60% on engines and 20% on Armor, since you will be getting levelups in all three every turn, with no wasted points or delayed benefits.
