getting back into the game after a hiatus
have an additional option for research - namely optimization
file version stays the same except it uses less memory, cpu , bandwith and hardisk space
what do you guys think?

I seem to remember this (or a similar flavor) being suggested before.
I agreed then and I'll agree again.

I agree'd back than too, but when it was sugested back then, it was to have the ability to have a person (for group like work) specialize in specific optomizations....

second that, costing perhaps 200hpd, and reduces it by 10% each time?

10%? That's a bit much I think.... |

How about random factor?  Either the file gets higher version or lower running requirements |

random=very bad
10%=bad but 2% should be good

Why are you saying percents? It will be the same as research is now but instead of the file version going up, the requierments to run it will be decreased - So the more hours you research it for, the less requierments it uses.

It's not that I'm afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens.

that way you would hit 0 % means it just gets VERY small

the only question is how to deal with diminishing returns?

I do not think it would matter about how you display it, currently you can have a bunch of the same files if you want to.I guess if you stress it though, you could put a secondary version on it, like an efficency version or percentage, or you could put something kind of like how it showes a file is hidden/encrypted/public...

or the size would be smaller unless it just uses less ram/cpu and is not any smaller in file size... |
