Switch to Free Market?

[Method]

let's do that one. The Emperor Prime Function commands you!

I think it looks pretty conclusive to go for FM now then, with the only thing to discuss further being the exact breakdown of Energy/Labs/Psych. However I would think that surely we could have 80% Energy for a few turns then 80% beakers, and be better off overall due to the ECs we build up being spent on improvements etc earlier rather than having to wait to build up enough ECs if we had a more even split. This way we aren;t relying on PUT for research, either.

That would certainly be worth considering, especially if we could set up a little turn simulator scenario to test just what the results are with what lengths of each.

Absolutly right WIA. I proposed the same thing about a decade ago myself. If we build Net nodes in a few key bases (Logic Loop, Triplex, Prime, Pi) we can probly incresse our output under an 80% Reserarch Alocation by about 100 Points to something in the 300 range. It would likly 100-150 Credits for each Network Node.

But I feel we should focus on TreeFarms first as they bost Econ and Pych and most importantly NUTS!

[Drogue]

I agree with Impaler completely

[GeoModder]

Free Market it is.

Ok, I agree with Impaler as well for Tree Farms and Network Nodes by the time a switch to lab output is planned.

That might become a problem, with the production output those 2 have.
