General Beelines?
a suggestion from moomin: a poll to see what techs we want to beeline to for key SPs, and such. vote for priority 1, 2, and 3.
  • Industrial Automation - 3 techs away (planetary networks, industrial economics, industrial automation)
    SPs - Virtual World (planetary networks) Planetary Transit System
    SE - Free Market (industrial economics) Planned (planetary networks) Wealth
    Other - Crawlers, Probe team
  • Centauri Empathy - 2 techs away (secrets of the human brain, centauri empathy)
    SPs - Empath Guild
    SE - Fundamentalist (secrets of the human brain) Green
    Other - Mind worms, may build roads in fungus
  • Intellectual Integrity - 3 techs away (doctrine loyalty, ethical calculus, intellectual integrity)
    SPs - Command Nexus (doctrine loyalty) Citizen's defence force
    SE - Democratic
  • Gene Splicing - 2 techs away (ethical calculus, gene splicing)
    SPs - None
    SE - Democratic
    Other - Nutrient restrictions lifted
  • Synthetic Fossil Fuels- 4 techs away (high energy chemistry, ethical calculus, gene splicing, synthetic fossil fuels)
    SPs - None
    SE - Democratic
    Other - Nutrient restrictions lifted, Plasma steel (D3), Missile launcher (A6)
  • Restriction Lifting Techs - 4 techs away (ethical calculus, gene splicing, ecological engineering, environmental economics)
    SPs - none
    SE - Democratic
    Other - All restrictions lifted
  • Write in (explain)
  • More rounded research - no beelining
  • Xenobanana

you have 5 days

1. IndAuto (need those crawlers! And PTS and VW are a nice bonus.)
2. Restriction lifting
3. Centauri Empathy

I tend not to "beeline" as such, so I voted for that option (sacrilege?).

IndAuto first, and then as much as possible to get to Environmental Economics ASAP. Tree Farms=productive bases anywhere! If I have a tactic in my games, Tree Farms are it (apart from Gravships, but that's a different story ).

Times may change, of course, but in these generic times that's what I reckon we should do.....

I voted well rounded. Ethical Calculus is a must and it's not on here. I would have voted for Gene Splicing, but I want Ethical Calculus for Democrcy, not the later techs it gives. (Intellectual Integrity is great, but it requires the morally corrupt Doctrine: Loyalty).

I'm open to the possibility of beelining -- for example, I'd like to beeline to Eudaimonia at a future point. But for the moment I think it's too restrictive.

I guess the definition of a bee-line would be the path to follow to research a more or less distant tech. Since we can research EthCal right away, it isn't a bee-line and doesn't need to be included in this poll.

I'm for well-rounded - since no one playing style is going to dominate in a democracy game there is no guarantee that the winning beeline will best suit the actual playing choices we make.


Just say no to beelines!

1. Industrial Automation.
2. Centauri Empathy.
3. Intellectual Integrity.

Should keep the tech votes away the rest of this term
