The beta 2 research screen is better than the one in beta 1:
- it is easier to see which tech you have already researched, which one you can reserach now and which are the ones where prerequisite are missing
- the fact that the currently researched tech is on the top of thescreen is nice too.
I have few small problems:
- You can't see any information on techs whose prerequisites are missing. It is strange, especially when considering that GC 1has got finally a tech explorer in the Expended Universe expansion.
- It isn't obvious that the Titanium armor allow you to have hulls. Bascialy, if you don't have it, you can't design new ships. But you are still able to build the ships that are associated with some tech.
- when choosing the tech for the custom race, it is difficult to see what you really need for a starting race. For example, the Titanium armor tech don't give any hint about the hulls component. More ships that appears on the research screen associated with teh tech don't appear when customizing the race.
After few more testings, it seems that titanium armor ins't linked with hulls, but it seems a problem for custom race, even if they have the same startings techs that all others races: the hull aren't available.
