Good news! I can start researching!

Bad news! I popped a tech I didn't want from a pod, and now the research cost of my first tech has further increased!

Maniac, what do you mean that you can start researching? You play Hive, don't you?

DAMN! I just discovered that because of the -1 Research I (the Hive) am running due to Unitary Police State, I can't accumulate research yet. Previously I thought it were only faction-inherent research penalties that caused the penalty of not being able to research in the first couple years.

A positive effect of this is though that the Conclave/Believers don't have their penalty anymore. Technocrat evens out their inherent research penalty. Since the Conclave is usually considered a weak faction, this is

A negative effect is though that the Drones also don't get the penalty anymore. And they could use this penalty, as they already are too powerful as is. Do you guys think increasing the Drone research penalty to -3 would be a good thing for a SMAniaC update?

Btw, would I assume correctly Darsnan incorrectly gave those laser subs the slow ability, and that they aren't in fact subs? Or does the sub special ability just not show on the list?

No idea, but I sure don't see the "wave" effect that normally comes with deep pressure hull ability.
