I'm posting all the rules for R&D right now ahead of time [well, in my rules location anyway]. So, I'll allow suggestions for R&D technology. I'm trying to put as much as possible in it right now so it is transparent and clear from the start [unlike nuclear weapons and missiles in the past version]. So any suggestions for cool research upgrades and the like? Think: -New resources [and their applications] -Production enhancements -New units -Enhanced units |

reasearch into making alternative fuel, so that Oil isn't as important. |

As far as alternative fuel goes, it is not viable on a small scale using current technology (unless you want to pay a substancial amount). The only reason we are considering alternative fuels in real life is becuase of oil prices, if they were lower no one would care becuase (not including the enviroment, which is often sited as a reason but when push comes to shove people dont care) oil for the $ and the volume (combined) is far better then anything we have, or will ahve in the near future. So I would make alternative energies flexible (like able to power most/all vehicles) but VERY expensive (at least on the small scale). THe research must be expensive as well. But the product will inheriently be more expensive then oil to produce by a wide margin. I am not trying to rag on the enviroment or anything I am just stating the facts. |

Maybe far in the future (if it lasts, oh, a year or so) we can have some kind of "super-fuel" that enbales space travel and colonization. |

Thats too bad thats life. If you want to make a remotely "realistic" economy then you are going to have to deal with the fact that life doesnt hand everything out to you on a plate. What about oil barons, they have very little metals and other resources, why dont we just give them a magic metal producing machine? |

I didnt say you'd get it free, I was (to anyone that has ever talked to another human being) using a figurative example. What you are asking is just you attempting to give yourself an easy ride. I have lots of oil if I get my regions, but I have next to nothing as far as other things go. So understanding this I am willing to trade to aquire it, knowing fully well I am now partially dependant on other people for my country to run. Like I said in my first post, I am not even saying that these fuels shouldnt be an opition, I just said that, if you look at reality, they are considerably more expensive per Kwh then oil, natural gas, and especially Coal. |

I meant using Natural Gas and Coal to turn into Gas... easy ride would be getting it free. |

Oh, I thought you were talking about things like Hydrogen (which has its many problems) and solar power (which lacks the punch) for vehicles and such. I think I understand now. FYI it gets even easier, you dont even need the natural gas, coal can produce a fairly effective fuel for vehicles (it is actually about 90% as efficent as oil, although it varies depending on the $$ your willing to spend). |

Yea. Thats what I was saying. Although I do hope that SOMEDAY, humanity makes a breakthrough that allows for something that can power a ship FTL. |

Ya I still think that Solar power and hydrogen should be limited to power plants. |

On a similar R&D train of thought, what about devolopements to use less fuel, by creating more fuel efficient designs, realistically that is. Also, if we implement the tactics idea for battles (not sure if we decided to do that) could alternate tactics be researched? |
