The current system is also very enjoyable and this is what gives you the gaming experience next to setting the strategy!
Though could be renewed a bit also on this, because it’s not something lifelike, as someone rarely gets 1-1 points in 1-1 department just like that, even though it’s common in this game.
The solution could be to research certain packages that improve some departments more or less, while possibly degrading others a bit. This would be the upgrading and the speed of development would still depend on development department of headquarters. Research is the research of existing for others but missing for us packages in the given department(s). This would continue to depend on the lead designer, the technical director, and the backlog in the department.
Also, I don’t know if it’s in the game, but if I guess right and it isn’t, it would be nice if the ideal settings depended on the improvements as well.
I thankyou very much, if you import this to the game.
