Also, we need to determine times for things like research and production so that we don't argue about who has what or who is more advanced than who.

I think because researching something would involve a lot of luck (you can't really know exactly when your gonna get it. ex: penicillin was invented by accident) we need to have it be somewhat random. Education levels and military should factor in when it would be applicable. If you're researching something military related a higher military budget should make it happen sooner. If it's not military related we'll use education levels. What we could do is look at the budget and what is trying to be discovered and come up with a reasonable maximum amount of time it would take. Then you could use like a random number generator or something to pick a number between one and the number you got as the maximum (this is where luck comes in). That number is how long it takes to research. Any thoughts?

i think education should be the factor on how advanced everything is, it doesn't matter how much money you can throw at something if your people don't understand how it works or how to make it. money would be how fast things are made, like you might be able to make the most advanced super computer ever but if you can't afford it then it doesnt really matter either

So, like, education is for research and money is for production? Sounds good.

yep

Is there a way to check education rankings whenever you want or do you have to wait for the census thing to do it?

i think we would have to wait

[Opportunity and Peace]

Ok, then we should have the most recent ones listed somewhere and then just update them everytime there is a survey

[Felkey]

thats what i figured we'd do

ok before anyone else picks up on this: what would be a good name for a cross between a stealth destroyer and a frigate? super stealth destroyer seemed to worry hvalros

I think this is a great idea.
