Topic: automatic research funding

I'd like to automatically fund either x amount of gold every tick or y% of my income into research.

Is this making things too easy for players?  Should they have to remember to do this?

Got a few bucks?  The Imperial Tip Jar is accepting contributions!

Re: automatic research funding

I had been thinking about suggesting something like this too. Similar to this there are a few other features that could be added: auto trigger fleet on arrival, pre-building orders both fleet and buildings, auto send aid or specific aid orders, etc.

An arguement pro this implementations would be that its a strategy game and things should be made easy for the players so they can entirely fovus on strategy, rather than on  funding each tick or logging in in the middle of the night to do whatever they feel they must.

On the other hand activity should be rewarded too.
