Hello, I would like to make a suggestion to take player to the research screen if no research is selected at the game beginning (like in Civ 5). I have just played 15 turns without any research

For new players may be useful and should be easy enough.

Yes, i think it can be done with some interactive tutorial explaining the whole gameplay.

Yeah, a pop-up would be most effective, but it would be good either way.

I agree but I think a new tutorial would be a godd idea, more interactive, and if you choose to see it, it will show you the whole gameplay.

You have not selected anything to research!

Checking the 'empire' page really helps, it shows which systems are lazy

But in general I think this is just another symptom of having to control too many systems and then managing them just becomes mindless.

If system were just much scarcer, where a normal empire would have a max of like 6-8 it would be really manageable and you'd be able to put effort into each system on it's own.

But well people like wider maps, so well maybe add nodes with other content than systems.

You can set up each system with a focus AI if you find it too tedious. I haven't played with it at all because I'm compulsive so I don't know how well it works.

Yes, the pop up should be enough. It is just too easy to forget. I have already played about 6 games, yet in almost every one I simply forget to start to research. Usually I find out the second turn, but the last game took me 10. Stupid me.

There is a little scrolling reminder at the top of the screen whenever there is no research is selected but perhaps the normal research complete icon could pop up at start of game (same as when a research completes).

(I've made the same mistake myself but considering how little you can actually do on the first turn perhaps there isnt much excuse for this mistake).
