Citizens concern on research.

[Rik Meleet]

I have seen very little research debates on "What to research after <current tech> ?". Also I have seen few, if not none at all, research-polls.

I don't think this is very democratic. I am not living in a Fanatikan Despotism, I am living in a Game of Democracy.

I call upon the Minister of Trade and Technology to open a few new threads here with the question:

"We are X turns away from researching tech Y. What do we research next ? Options: A, B, C & D"

After the citizen's have spoken, please hold a poll about it.

Also: We are currently researching techs faster than 1 or 2 per turnchat. Perhaps it's better to change the question to:
"We are X turns away from researching tech Y. What do we research next ?" Options:
A, then B, then C.
B, then A, then D.
A, then C then D.
C, then D.
etc.

We also need to consider which Techs we can gain through trade, so we don't waste time researching what we can trade for.

We had a discussion initiated by Strider in this thread but it petered out.

I'm still very much in favor of moving towards replaceable parts ASAP.

Bah - this is rapidly heading towards a dictatorship run by two people who care not about working through others.

Let them figure it out.

We don't want that. We want knowlegdable discussions and votes in polls. But the Ministers have to organize the polls.
