    Changes are to the descriptions only; everything is still named the same.

    Changes are mainly to cut down description length and make it more obvious what the category contains. Each top-level category now has three items listed: the engine, the armor, and one other notable item (chassis upgrades, turret upgrades, plasma weapons, biological weapons, explosive compounds). This should make it much easier to find what your soldiers are requesting.

    Also corrected are several mistakes stating that certain things are in certain categories, whereas they were in fact reshuffled several versions ago.

    I'd like to see little things like this updated for 2.0, which is something that we as a community can do together.

    Noo! I absolutely ADORED the complex descriptions! Seriously, this is what I found so appealing to research when I did it for the first time. Sure, clarity is important, but don't dumb down the descriptions just for the sake of dumbing them down D:

    Did you even read my modified ones? Before, every category started with the words "Gain access to..." and every item began with "Engineer...". I barely removed any of the back-story behind the technologies, and in some cases I added even more. It was mostly grammatical and structural changes, rather than the content itself.

    Good call on this Brocolli, anything that eases the learning curve for n00bs is always a good thing, even if ever so slightly

    I downloaded it yesterday and some hours later I won my first big game as commander. It helped me at least twice to find the right research item in nearly no time, whereas before i would have spent 2 minutes looking for it. Thx for the new script.
