What has been done is done; the amount of lost time has reached the top. Time of choices is over: I miss the original SoH game, BUT the Steam launch process is runing . Accept this fact and enjoy the game for what it is

You can count me on that opposed list. As a new player back when TL and QL was a thing. It never really felt fun to progress. More like a chore, while praying to the RNG Jesus. And if you weren't careful. The Tech Disk would get consumed. And you had to do it again...? If I remember correctly.
I think a tech tree, along the lines of what DeanTwo is suggesting, is a much better option. And would possibly be more intuitive for new players.
Most people would already be familiar with how a tech tree works.

Didnt like TL restrictions which forced to search for Q248 resources. I think current patent system should be improved to be more linear with feeling of progressing though i have no ideas. There is a lack of technologies to separate progression in different branches. Some of them are just named differently with same purpose like weapon types. Patents require updates after being researched which is not cool. Like: "Oh cool, finally got some good metal. Now i have to update electronic part patent, computer patent, all ship modules that require metal/electronics/computers, weapons and other stuff", but then you get another better resource and you have to start over again which is not cool

The issue with patents is that they suck all around. It's not interesting and takes zero time to acquire. The game already feels beat 3 hours in. TL made the game take way longer despite it's many short comings.

TL progression was like in modern mobile games where you have to wait for N hours to get something (or pay with premium currency to skip)

I'm against re-adding TL
I think we need something different from both patents and TL, or atleast integrate an actual tree system that has progression. Think of Factorio.

Never. The new system of open design must stay.
