Noted. I'll put up the rest of the previous year shortly and will report any new developments with the war. In terms of research, for the most part that can best be implemented simply by prioritizing research laboratories of various kinds higher when developing planets. We can also put sectors that are fairly balanced in terms of energy + mineral output into Research Focus.

Expansion slows down research in case anyone is not aware. Every planet and/or pop we add increases the cost of research projects. It's sort of a catch-22 kind of situation. The next pair of planets we will colonize are in an area with major physics research(I mentioned this back when it was surveyed, but 15 in a single system) so that should get a boost once we get those stations going. For a while research lagged because we were so focused on getting enough power plants up to boost the economy.

Going forward then, I will emphasize research labs and we will see how that works out.
