Research Cost
I would love to see us able to pay for research. It should be pretty much the same setup as payment for rushing ships or buildings. I am not sure if it should be at 50%, may 65 ot 70, but it would be useful at times and maybe get the games moving more, not that speed is a problem.
You would have tp spend a good deal of cash to rush a research project. It would have to be expensive to prevent abuse, and you could only do it once. So if it costs 5000 to finish a tech and you have only 3000 you can pay it down so that your research time goes down.
This way you have to be very careful about how you use your money. Spend yo much on research and you may find you can't afford to keep your planets or fleets running. Money now becomes more involved, but not so much where its only a game of money.
