Researching Idea!

[DraLUSAD]

ok, here is a another funny one i thought up, as of now, Team Researching is good, BUT here is something i dont like, i am sorry to say ¬.¬

Countless times i research something, and not taking any notice of the "<3" symbol, and tend to lose precious power, when it gets researched, so i thought of this

Why not, when an Ally, Human/computer alike, researches something, it gets taken out of then research box, this stops players (or me ¬.¬) to research something that is already in research, then when it is complete, all of the allies will be notified of the research, sounds something like this

Ally: (player/Computer color) has researched = (Name Of Research Component)
Including a noise or something to indicate its researched

A) Stops players from researching the same thing, and stops players from losing power
B) Makes players research other components that's on show
C) Faster Research with out having to look around whats available

I think it's a good idea!

but what does the admins/moderators think

My solution would be to not let <3 topics be researchable, unless you hold down Alt.

Hold down alt... does this mean there is another undiscovered function O_O
what happens when you do hold down alt?

It makes you use both hands to select the button
Currently it's not assigned to nothing on the research screen. But Zarel is finding good opportunities to assign alternate commands to the alt key (such as move-unload for transports, which is definetely good for large number borg attacks).

BTW, the idea of blocking "friendly-research" unless selected-by-force is a nice idea. I think this was already discussed in a similar topic.
