Quiting Research

[Cyber-Shark]

I think that we should be a ble to quit a research for if we were to go on vacation and leave your fleets with a friend and he were to start a research that you did not want you can quit it so that you don't have to wait for something stupid or that you did not want to finish so that you do not lose as much time for research.

[Achilles]

I vote no, if that is the reason.

If you can't log on, and you share your password with someone, that is just a risk you have to take, along with others. For example, what would happen if the person who was minding your researches also started zipping your fleets all over the galaxy (fighting and losing) and picking fights with people by sending rude, vulgar messages to them. You could not petition to get your points back, by saying that it was not you, could you? And good luck explaining to your new enemies that it was not you who sent them taunting messages.

I just dont think that that reason is valid. Perhaps if you were disabled and had a hard time activating the correct research button, then I could see an abort button being worthwhile.

[mackman]

I vote Yes but not for the reason stated.There have been times that I would liked to stop reserch because I could have used a mantis for example and now I have to wait 5 days because I am reserching something else.Thats a good reason.

I also think it is a good idea to be able to stop a research. If you are researching something, that you find out half way through, that it is useless of would not fit in you fleet setup, then you should have the option to stop the research. sometimes you could hit the button too quick and start researching something that you did not intend to.

[Nikolai]

I think there should be a penalty if you cancel a research.

Perhaps you would have to wait half the amount of time already spent on the research. For example, if you began a research that takes 5 days, and you cancel it after 2 days, you would have to wait 1 day before you could research something else.

This would still force you to "plan ahead" when selecting a research, but would give you an option of canceling it immediately if you mistakenly chose the wrong one.

I vote yes, 'cos I'va tried to hit the wrong button, and it's pretty anoying that you have to wait 4 days before you can research what you wanted to.
But I don't think there should be a penalty

[Cyber-Shark]

Nemesis. That was another thing I was thinking was that if you hit the wrong button. For example if what you want to research takes a day and a half and what you hit took three days you do not have to wait four and a half days to be able to build what you maybe longer if you don't get on to start it when the research ends.

[rktekt]

You definately should be able to quit. For many reasons stated above, however the main being user error, realizing you hit the wrong button (maybe a limit to the first 12 hours).

[Nemesis]

@Cyber-Shark I know what you meant, why are you suddenly telling me that?

[JaM]

I don't care. I never had 'hit the wrong button' or suddenly have the feeling what I'm researching is useless.

I think a queue is more needed, because this way I won't losing valuable research time with sleeping and go to school. Instead, when my research is finished it gets the next on the queue and when I come home from school or wake up I add some more researches to the queue.

[Nemesis]

I think we should have both.

[admin]

the answer will be No anyway.
have a look at the discussion about Prof. Zyklop

[Guest]

To modify the game and test it completely take alot of time. Unless Admin or whoever program have time to spare, they will say no to whatever suggestion is put to program change.

[Dutchbatter]

I know it is old "your fleets to a friend" it is not allowed to share your account. Or am i wrong? If i am wrong, please tell me, i am going skiing and when my planet is cloacked, i can't score points .

Beer taste nice

[Weylyn]

I vote yes, for all of the reasons stated above. A "cancel" button should really not be so hard do program.

Mostly, I agree.
But there should be a cancel battle on 2 research's. If u choose em by wrong click, or so.
Those are:
1.Final exploration
2.Clone labs
If u get those by mistake, u have sirius problems.

AS for other: It is fun when "bad" ship, turnes out good.

i hate to be a bad guy but.
if the desiners dont want to bother puting things into the game
thay arnt doing there job.
the game will get dull and people will leave.

there should be a research que of up to 3 curent researches. and total under a week. that way people can have a short holiday and still research. this is also evend out becuse the research centre could be distroyed. delaying the que.

i also think that this system could be implomented because
you could have a drop down menu to solect your research que
and on a difrent page you can put researches into the que.

this means that you just dont put the link to the new page until the system works.

[Guest]

i diffently think there should be a queue because it would be prettty cool to go on vacation and come back with a couple new ships ready to build

[lowvoice]

I think its good the ammount of times ive accidentally click research
