Interrupts

[ManOfTheMoment (OP)]

Is there any way of interrupting the auto turns to notify me when I get a new scientist. 

I'm playing conventional and I have only 2 scientists at the beginning, so knowing when new ones arrive is important.

Unfortunately, we cannot customize interrupts, yet. Steve has said it might be possible in the future.

That's a pretty unlucky start, you should assign one of them to the academy to boost the chance of getting more scientists (as % of total officers) and/or build more academies.

Doesn't having no scientists mean no research is done? Even if there are labs?

[Garfunkel]

Yes, exactly that.

If you have more labs than what your scientists can manage, then they are wasted.

If one is that low on scientists, I would keep them both working.  Assigning one as commandant is only improving the 10% chance of a new scientist to 20%, after all.  At five officers a year (assuming only one Military Academy) that's a 1-3 year delay to getting more labs into action.
