Research Teams for the 3 components and vehicles. You can set their budgets in the RnD department and hire employees in the HR department.
Design skills based on what you have made has been decreased and research team effects have been added. Net net Design skills should increase faster at maximum.
Component skill requirement degrade has been reduced by 300%, making research teams more important...
Tweaking on the numbers will probably occur after you guys get 1.13... This should be a good money sink, but not a required one. It makes it where you have to keep engineers employed at all times. (The amount of hiring and firing of engineers was sort of unrealistic before.)
One that ive been looking forward to hearing about and seeing in the game for a while.
I really like the idea in general, especially the increase in strategic choices it brings to the player.
When you said net design skills should increase faster at maximum...
Do you mean that when you are designing components in combination with separately using research teams you will get access to new tech (components available at that year) sooner than you do in the current version?
