Alright, fine. I still think technologies are overcosted or conducting
research is too crappy, but if my revised and now officially void prop
passes, I will be well content. Perhaps it is even a tad extreme... If
people think it should be revised downward a bit, i would be open to that.
But I definitely think that some form of it is necessary if Technologies are
to be an important, fun part of the game.
