i for one dont understand why the VM has to be tied to it.The reason i say it was already mentioned..you still have to aquire the resources to begin with.If someone can afford 40 rubies to instant build a lunar base n jg for a hit..whats issue with letting someone instant build one tech for 40 rubies?

Like buildings techs reach a point that cost dont warrant the rewards but if someone wants to blow a couple $s so be it.

Instant tech build for 40 rubies is a great idea and gets my vote ....... as stated before, it is a win win situation for Zorg to implement this.........next!

well am against sorry gozar reson is simple
rubys why always good idea start will ruby
there is resurses we all have many and we could use it for that like this:
new menu option:
to speed up research :
500 000 metal speed up research for 30 sec
1 mil. metal speed up research for 1 min
3 mil. metal speed up research for 3 min
6 mil.metal speed up research for 10 min
12 mil.metal speed up research for 30 min
24 mil. metal speed up research for 1 h
48 mil. metal speed up research for for 5 h
96 mil. metal speed up research for for 10 h
120 mil. metal speed up research for for 24 h
150 mil. metal speed up research for for 28 h
200 mil. metal speed up research for for 35 h
250 mil. metal speed up research for for 45 h
500 mil. metal speed up research for for 60 h
750 mil. metal speed up research for for 120 h
1 b. mil. metal speed up research for for 240 h
sommething like this it better then always ruby use
each time you use one of these you must wait 5 min. then you can use it again to make system of zorg calculate research time reduced by amount you choise.

You seem to miss the idea here Pein..

The idea is to gain an extra revenue for ZE to help pay for the game.. Do you think the servers and alike are free... ZE has to pay for them.. The game obtains its income from rubies purchased.. Without them there would be no game.

The reason for rubies is this is meant to be used in a crisis situation..not for every day game play.. what you are looking to do is shorten all research time.. that would not be a good idea.. Though may be it would for n00bs.. at this stage of the game I think all n00b accounts should have their research time halved.. as to enable them to develop quicker..
So while in n00b protection your research time is reduced by 50%. This will encourage players to develop...imo.

The issue I see is the game being tipped further in favor of major ruby users. Besides, why not teach a little patience...lmao

Because its their 10% weapon upgrade, and they want it now.

Patience is a virtue my dear boy.

not for this idea. if you have research that takes 30 days to finish when you start it you just jump into VM to finish it & wait 3 days. i think it would be better if Research would pause if you went into VM.

Have you not read this thread.. 1st off the point is you can not enter in to VM with research running..The idea is you pay to complete it. It would not be hard to add that if this option was chosen then VM would last for a minimum of 7 days or longer depending on players views.
The option would be either pay the required rubies or cancel the research. The choice is yours..

For those of you bitching about the rubies users.. If you do not wish to purchase rubies that is your choice and the game will remain the same as it is now for you. However if there was no rubies users the game would have folded by now what do you think pays for the servers....fresh air.

Not a bad idea actually, I like it.. rubies for researches
But the trouble over here is with this instant research completion there would be a sudden rise in the points of players and considering the fact active players may also use it just to finish it quickly.. the non0ruby users would be left way far behind, so it should be implemented such that the ruby cost is not too high but neither too less at the same time. Or maybe speeding up of the research shall do too if not instantaneous.

Dude?
If he just wants to complete the research.. why would he Vmode after using rubies? Lol.. its for those who take a break or are forced to vmode and had been researching it for a week or 2 maybe. So in order to not have them either cancel the research or wait untill its finished the ruby thing can be done.
