So a lot of people here dont like the con building at the start of the round. Best argument i have heard so far is that it creates boredom for those not really involved. in that, i do agree.
another argument that can be made is that it allows those fams not warring to gain a massive advantage in eco (too quickly) over those fams that are warring. again, i agree.
so, what would be great is if science funding could have a suspension limit placed on it as well. Say 1 week, full round etc…
Note: this is specifically for a date-based delay. Disabling it for an entire round requires slightly different handling, but can be faked in the meantime by just specifying a date further out than EoR.
