I'm afraid so.
My only vote is that Tatyana gets to drive the science ship and we hire someone with a better perk to lead engineering.

It's WAY too early in the growth curve to worry about 10% slower anomaly research speed. He can listen to late-night talk radio all he wants, let him keep doing his job. If you really want to bother about it he can just be on survey-only duty and we can hire an archaeologist or something to run around and actually handle the anomalies he finds.

What kind of investment would Spider World even need, anyhow?

Once a colony ship reaches a planet, there's a period of time where the colony is being set up. During this setup period the planet produces nothing and costs a hefty chunk of energy every turn. I believe the number is something like -8 energy. Since we're only at 3 energy profit per turn, we're spending our reserves setting up the planet, and we don't have enough reserves to set up two at once, or in close succession.

Basically our cash reserves dictate that we're at a hard decision on which world to invest in first, and the precursor capital is the superior option in every category except comedy value.
