A button for mass research?

[Mint Keyphase (OP)]

Kinda annoying to operate repetitively on a clunky UI to mass research every time a new game is created.

Steve would have to create a window where you select which technologies to research when you click "mass research" and this is only a problem for people who repeatedly make games that require a specific technological starting positions instead of the usual conventional/TN start. As annoying as it can be for you, I doubt this is a good use of his time. Plus, soon enough the release of new versions will quiet down and we will all be playing 2.6.1 or something for three years.

 --- VB6 had a button that Instant Researched everything of Equal to or Less than a specified amount of RP. Likewise, IIRC, it also had a button that basically gave you everything sans spoiler stuff.

 --- I'd like a return of the Equal to or Less Than option, as for the "Give me MaxTech" option, I'd like to see it as start option.

 --- In any case, I'd also like to have the option to SM spoiler tech.

Isn't there a checkbox for a default TN tech set? Not that I use it.

The part I have trouble with is the starting build points. I wind up not spending them and then warping my whole gameplay because I can insta-spawn fleets.
