Pacing Suggestion

[Troy]

After playing a good number of hours, I think that the pacing in this game is a little too slow. I realize it's trying to capture that 90's feel where games developed slowly, but I don't think that works in today's market. There are too many times the player is just waiting, doing nothing. The auto-turns help with this a lot, but it's not enough. There is just too much down time righ tnow.

I would strongly suggest the following changes be made, or at least tested:

-Reduce construction time for all buildings by 25%

-Reduce research points needed for all techs except the last era by 20%

-Increase base income by 25%.

If you do this, the game will play much faster and keep the players more occupied with making decisions and exploring/conquering the galaxy. I think you'll find people will be happier with a faster pace on larger maps as well.

I would like to see all of those as parameters to be selected at game start so that every player can tune this to their liking
