Hi folks,
We all know that research times in late game are way too long. Nobody likes it to wait several months before a research is finished.
I had the idea to involve nanites at the research times. Now it's when you have for example IRN 9 and your ten highest labs are all at 14 that you have cumulative one big lab at level 140.
The idea is now that a nanite factory raises the level of the lab (only to the planet it belongs to) in the calculation of the research time.
For example on 1 single planet:
Nanite 0 --> Research lab 14
Nanite 1 --> Research lab 28
Nanite 2 --> Research lab 42
Nanite 3 --> Research lab 56
Nanite 4 --> Research lab 70
Nanite 5 --> Research lab 84
Nanite 6 --> Research lab 98
Nanite 7 --> Research lab 112
Nanite 8 --> Research lab 126
Nanite 9 --> Research lab 140
And so on...
When that player decides to increase his research lab to level 15 than this would happen...
Nanite 0 --> Research lab 15
Nanite 1 --> Research lab 30
Nanite 2 --> Research lab 45
Nanite 3 --> Research lab 60
Nanite 4 --> Research lab 75
Nanite 5 --> Research lab 90
Nanite 6 --> Research lab 105
Nanite 7 --> Research lab 120
Nanite 8 --> Research lab 135
Nanite 9 --> Research lab 150
Say a player has on all his planets a nanite 7 and research lab at level 14 and still IRN 9 that would mean he would have cumulative one big lab at 10*96=1120. So research will go 1120/140=8 times quicker with this example compared to the example in the top of this post.
I think this is fair since in the endgame only time is the limit in researches instead of resources, I think that could be balanced better. Also would it give a reason to improve IRN more since the effect now from level 8 to 9 is very minimal.
Also the big players in for example quantum (which is already a 5X uni) who want to have astro 24 an astro 25 have to wait more than 2 years if you combine the researches. That's ridiculous long........... (or spend some € of course but players who don't do that should have the possibility to reach it too in my opinion).
