Pretty awesome feedback. This is more than most testers have given us, so thanks! We're welcome to any changes you want to work on, esp as you've noticed areas like research that need a lot of work. Balance and abilities too, since it requires a lot of game playing time. I don't think Lavo, sloosecannon, or any of the others have ample time to do coding and gameplay testing. So basically we give you the charter... you see something you want to fix, you can fix it and we'd be happy to look it over. Eventually, you may be able to commit changes directly for our beta testers to try.
