Tech Description?
I already taken a look at the wiki (before the serv had problems, hope you don't get more when fixing, I wish you good luck ^^)
Could some little information about the researchs, be displayed on the screen when passing the mouse over? (not just the name, some more info, like, (HEAT Cannon - Increases attack (or whatever) in x%) Maybe could make the game a little easier for newbies, I just know about most of techs now, but I thought this idea can help new people.
What do you think?

I think: YES!Saberuneko wrote:What do you think?
It would be great for anyone, not just for newbies.
Maybe something like:
If you right click on research, a small window pops up, viewing effects of that research, and what researches will be made available when it is researched.
Note:
All researches are described here, not in Wiki, It is more like developer, not user wiki.

Re: Tech Description?
Yes that's it! So if you want to look what's the effect of it, just right click, if you want to start researching fast as always do same as before, just left click it ^^13KukYNexus666 wrote:If you right click on research, a small window pops up, viewing effects of that research, and what researches will be made available when it is researched.
Re: Tech Description?
Well, the little symbol in the top right hand corner of the research tells you the type of research it is and after researching it you can go to the intelligence display (F6) which will tell you about it. Although, I quite like that idea.Saberuneko wrote:Yes that's it!

And that menu is limited to 4 pages, so after 10-20 minutes of play you can't see anything new...

Re: Tech Description?
Yes, I know about the intel display... but it would be better if the user knows what's he researching before, not after ^^.
And the added idea of what will be unlocked after researching that tech... is just good!

Re: Tech Description?
?? Simultaneous posts?... Whatever... After 10-20 minutes?? just click things, and they will clear and dissappear, so you can see the new ones...13KukYNexus666 wrote:But you have to research it to see what it does...Mysteryem wrote:Well, the little symbol in the top right hand corner of the research tells you the type of research it is and after researching it you can go to the intelligence display (F6) which will tell you about it.

EDIT: So just another idea popped on mind... A "clear" button for the intel?

Yes. What's wrong?Saberuneko wrote:?? Simultaneous posts?
No, they won't. Let me test that...Saberuneko wrote:After 10-20 minutes?? just click things, and they will clear and dissappear, so you can see the new ones...

Re: Tech Description?
Nothing wrong, just my post didn't had much sense after other two. 
And what you say, I already tried it. It works. but it's annoying to click everytime you research. (At least worked for me on a entire 3-hour play)

also the cost must be displayed next to it, and not discounting ur oil bar, its hard to count when oil derricks keep pumping , and changing ur number =P
i also say YES! i'd love to see what my research does =O

Re: Tech Description?
I would also like to be able to see the cost of research items in numbers without doing math from the difference in numbers on the main power bar.
