I keep forgetting how.

The biggest one is how to find the research tree. There are others. I look in the rules and eventually find it but then a few hours later I forget how to find it again LOL.

I ended up developing a routine, so that I know pretty well where is the stuff I feel the need to look at often, but I occasionally have one of those « I'm pretty sure I saw that thing at some point. Where was it again? » moments.

However, I keep clicking on STRAT. with the intent of opening the strategic map, even if I know it's S. MAP I want, and sighing a little at my fail. I'm afraid this behavior has already become too ingrained in me and I'll never get rid of it. [:D]

So I used a fate thing to discover gas powered small arms do I need to change my Infantry units?

I'm not familiar with gas powered small arms yet, but I would suggest that you look carefully at their stats.
From what I've gathered, they would not necessarily constitute an improvement over the weaponry you models already have, and their utility rather more situational.

(You probably could have opened a new thread or asked the question in a thread dedicated to model design discussion, but that's okay.)

If only we had voice commands as another means to bring up menus, the closest we could do that is using Voice Attack on Steam which you can create a voice command and then add a hotkey it will trigger. I dont think ALL menus in the SE has a hotkey, but Voice Attack could be a way to verbally give a command to bring up or toggle on any window or mode that currently has a hotkey. If the Dev adds more hotkeys then all the better. What is good about Voice Attack (There is a demo version on Steam) is you can create the verbal command to whatever you want it to be. Of course some teaching the computer the sound of your voice is required for reliability initially. I presume most will not bother with something like this as hotkeys can be quicker, but those who cant remember hotkeys well might like the idea to verbally say 'Tree' to see the tech tree or 'Map' to view the S.Map.

Anyway just an idea for what is out there that could be used with this game.
