A cancel research option would be great. I set a 12-hour upgrade fairly near the beginning and realised after about 20 mins how much more useful some of the quick stuff would have been. Don't even need an Auroch now!
Oh, and one minor bug, apart from the occasional save desynchronisation. When you investigate a wreck and are ambushed by pirates, you never get to see the loot screen with what items you found - I think the 'pirates attack' screen covers it up.
First of all, awesome game. The visuals and gameplay are both sparse, but brilliantly put together and give everything that the game needs to be fun and engaging. Bit stuck on completing the game with the Balanced faction, though. I've completed all the trade missions, done a couple of dark & light missions that cropped up, converted ALL planets bar the light and dark homeworlds to 50-50 alignment and I'm avoiding giving the dark cube to either side. Don't see what else to do, though. Have I 'won'?
