| Summary | 0015578: Research Window accessable from Knowledge Display | ||||
| Description | Suggestion concept: when you click the knowledge total at the top of the screen, you get a fake unit selected or such that allows you to select research in much the same way as you do as a science lab. I don't particularly feel that the player having a potential option to research sans a science lab is going to break the balance in favour of the game, and it'd save a lot of time for me searching for my missing science labs to research MK 3 FFs to protect a checkpoint in a hurry. A similar idea would be to have a home command centre popout that could be used for selecting research, just not generating it. Could even combine these so the popout is what is selected if you click the knowledge total. | ||||

hunting down a science vessel is an annoyance. I often keep one in group 5 so I might be spared the irritation. I'd like group 5 back, so *gets out protest signs* |

While I wouldn't mind seeing an even shorter shortcut to it, science labs are always at most three clicks away: Down in the bottom row visible in both planetary and galaxy view is a "Science labs" button. Click it, and you get a list of choices. Click "Ship types" and then click any lab that shows up. Presto, you now have access to the research, without having to hunt labs down. Personally, though, I always keep one science lab at my home command station for easy access. |
