b4 this last update the res tree was ok. on research you saw all the stuff to research and on the hub you could see the research queue. Now you cant see what you queued up unless you take your time to look at the research timer
this is very uncomfortable.

I actually found it pretty easy, but I wasnt on the server for very long and I've never really built before anyway so it was new to me. Ugh good luck understanding what the heck THAT meant. Anyway you know queded up items turn green instead fo the normal gold/white right? I found that to be pretty useful in telling me what ive upgraded and what I havent.

It's not easy because everything just seems to have been thrown together all hodgepodge. There's no order to that research tree.
You know, sometimes it takes me a few minutes just to locate IE drive? And I've been testing it a while.

i knew that i would be mistaken  sure i know about the different color and their meaning. What i meant was you dont knwo the order at all untill you check the times on the icons. that takes quite a while to figure out what will be researched 1st.
Actually i really dont know why F changed the research anyway. It was good the way it was. Why would i want to see tech i can't queue up for research anyway?

I like the system before too, but of course I already know the different trees. For new players, that old system was confusing. You had no way at all of knowing if you're making progress toward defense bases or depots or anything.
I think the OLDER old way of opening up the next tech for queing with just a click would be best. I know that was scrapped because it was too easy to just que everything at once and then leave, but the current beta system that tries to solve the queing problem AND the lack of knowledge of the trees isn't working either.
