Case closed.....I am relieved that IC didn't leave such a huge loophole in the research system. They have thought of everything!! *ahem* Except for key-reference cards for us suckers who bought the game from brick and mortar stores! :) I couldn't help myself

Hmmm....that almost seems patch worthy. But until then I know what I am going to be doing to free up some resources :CONGRAT:
Lets say that you want to research an upgrade which requires 5 military labs.....can you build those labs and then destroy (Scuttle) them after the research is complete??
The keymap wouldn't be such a big deal if the manual contained a list of hotkeys. Come'on Stardock, throw us a bone!
Maybe it was a lack of "Collector's Edition" content that drove them to include a basic reference card in the package. Maybe, reference cards cost $5.00 a piece to produce. Who knows! Next time you play the game try out every key, and every combination you can think of and start a "Standard Edition" wiki to help out all the others who happen to see the game in a store, buy it, and realize that there is no place in the manual that explains what buttons do what! :)
We are in the same situation then HM. I did not want to music or tech poster, and assumed that a key card was almost mandatory for a game like this. I can't believe that a key card is getting me this worked up, but the situation leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Thanks for the clarification HM......still, let me be the first to say "LAME". I love the game, and want to fully support Stardock but geez isn't a key-card basic stuff. Hopefully there is DRM on the electronic version of the key-card pdf because I have a feeling it is going to be pirated by those suckers who *gasp* bought their game from a brick and mortar seller. If IC and Stardock chose NOT to place key maps within the manual where do they expect those who bought the game f
I am just glad they didn't make the manual a "collector's" item!
I am in the same boat....I picked mine up at Gamestop yesterday. Since when is a list of hotkeys "bonus content"?? I love the game, just wish I knew what all the buttons did :)
