SO i can alter that - mmmm interesting ive been fiddlign a lot with the data files of late and have come up with some useful alterations

Ie 10 resource levels (applied resources)

Level 1 40000 pts - Facility with 300 points each
Level 2 - 400 pts
3 = 500 pts
4 = 600 pts
5 = 700 pts
6 = 750 pts
7 = 850 pts
8 = 900 pts
9 = 1000 pts
10 = 1250 pts

This has the effect of slowing the pace of technology development at the beginning of the game and opens up more technology exchanges with allies etc. As i play large maps ie 150 -255 systems this reduces the quick development of research pts as i get bigger and slows the game down longer.
