Since our science rate looks like it will be low for a while, and there aren't a lot of big caravan payments on the horizon, our science goals do not need to be defined any further at the moment.
I only have one question for the poll, regarding how badly we want to get Navigation from the Chinese, so our research beakers can go to something else. I realize this probably infringes on the foreign minister's authority a bit, but since it focuses on obtaining a tech, I'll give it a go.
Obviously getting a tech that we want from an AI saves our own research beakers for something else. The question is: What are we willing to give up to get that benefit? The biggest issue probably revolves around Gunpowder since it is likely to be demanded, although there is an option to include a "personalized" list of techs to exclude from trade negotiations.
