How toggleable is focus?  Would it be a permanent choice or could you change it?  If you chose two and then unlocked a better field, it'd suck to be unable to change to it, but too fast changing would be silly.  Maybe a 2-5 turn cooldown on changing?

I'd suggest a single focus, actually- most people don't have the scientists to make meaningful progress in more than two fields anyway.

I think it's pretty obvious I'd like the ability to focus research....

Duh...question at hand is on what field

[Comp112]

Id be on Physics or Robotics, if you want a concrete answer now though, physics...

[Terenos]

Yes Kashyyk, you'll need to kidnap one to train your minions. As this is kidnapping non-evil people to grab their skills. Like we did with the t1 before I unlocked them for hire.

[Riversand]

Of course when i read about the training, all i can see, is the minion transformations from Evil Genius. talk about a splitting headache.

[Kashyyk]

Ahh, thanks. Also, another Question: Is the choice of focus permanent?

Now that the word had got out to the correct calibre of 'Job Agency' Dr Black added a few more employees to the pay roll.

Spoiler: Black Industries (click to show/hide)

Hire 5 Regulars
Buy 80 Resources
2 Thugs plot to kidnap a Reporter
2 Regulars and Dr Black Sift through all the leads
1 Technician causes mayhem, equipped with a laser rifle and an AAD
2 Thugs acquire cash, with the help of a laser rifle and an AAD apiece
2 Guards guard, using all the AP turrets and Drones, and a laser rifle and an AAD each
5 Scientists Research defensive Physics
1 wounded scientist gets shouted at by Dr Black for being such an idiot, and then booted off to his room to recover

[Terenos]

When we decide whether to go in that direction, we'll likely be going with Toasters idea of making it moveable after a period of time. As that makes sense.
New to come: Alterations to Cash Raising missions, because they aren't as widely used.

Physics of course.

"Yes...Yes I think he will do just fine. Good job. Now recruit him. Minion 1, good job stealing this cash. I expect similar returns this week. The rest of you...you know what to do."

Seriously, I'd have thought you'd have learned by now that I PM my turn to the GMs.

[Riversand]

SO to clarify, a person could choose 1 focus fore a greater benefit to the one, versus picking two focuses if that's even possible?

and a focus, does it penalize the rate of growth for the other fields of research?

ya know... this game is awesome enough to have a wiki, in my opinion.

[Terenos]

Well people seem to be enjoying it. A wiki? Maybe. As me and Cyber have said. We have plans for this as a system, later on.

The current structure we're looking at for Focused research is that it will improve the speed of breakthroughs, but slow your research in all other fields. Proly limited to 1 field, Though potentially more with certain traits. still nothing set in stone.

[Riversand]

Good to know.

if i can wrap my head around all i would need to, i could attempt to form a wiki. not sure how yet, but i'll do what i can.

I'm excited about reading it even, and giddy at the chance of joining in.

[CyberGenesis]

PM me an email address and i'll give you what i have so far for documentation. Should be enough for a functional wiki

[Neyvn]

Um I wanted extra LR and AAs...
EDIT:: No wait I got them, then what was my count off for???

[Terenos]

You counted the resources for gear you had already built, when you sent it with your minions.

[Neyvn]

Ah ok... I think I get it...
