- Ouch hmm...

Rush buy lab > zero progress on building other stuff... that's going to really hurt in 1.3 on. Before the initial rush buy of starting colony improvements could be offset usefully by swinging the slider to full research... I could live with one or the other, but both together is -awful- for those first 5-10 turns

- holy hell does it take a long time to build things at 33/33/33 or whatever it's doing... doesn't seem to be changing the time till research complete would if it were moving sliders during rush buys at all

- oooh I an do it at the civilization level in the govern thing. You can unlock it by about turn 15-20 if you rush buy labs while keeping the civ level spending at 100% research. Syill some bugs in them though, yor governors like to queue up assembly (labs.. or anything) for a jillion turns before the factory that would cut that down to 10-20some. I notice that sometimes it seems to be putting the slider back to 33/33/33 or something thoug. These things really need to learn that there needs to be factory(ies) before it can build other stuff
