If possible, allow people to spend credits to unlock slots for research similar to that of ship market. The unlock can be temporary or forever.

I think it is a bad idea. Research should take a long time. Being able to research several things simultaneously would make it too fast.

it wouldnt make it too fast. just you wouldnt lose time to start new one when first research finished. Shadowood's suggestion doesnt offer research simultaneously. he offers to be able to make a queue which you dont need to start second research after first one. it will start automatically.

But doing two research at same time its too op. I dont think it would be a good idea at all

I like Shadow's idea of a queue but I think burning turns is sufficient in advancing research.

You can already upgrade Acadamy while doing research.

The que idea only makes it a little faster, I agree. It does make it faster, though, just not that much.

Not faster really. Except any down time from clicking the next upgrade button. But if the player already worked hard and prestocked the materials for the future upgrades, I feel it should be possible.

This method is just rewarding the player for doing the leg work in advance to save him from having to click the next upgrade button.

its basically quality of life. not game breaking addition. just make things a bit easier and less stressful.

I agree unless it opens a queue. It researches one at a time, but auto starts the next item in queue once the first research is complete.
