More questions

Sorry if these seem trivial, just tossing out things that keep coming up. As far as the shadow turns go, will we have any kind of goal for that year, or will it be whatever we think we should do.

Say for instance, after the initial colony build, the 'active' player decides to begin researching up the diplomacy tree. I tend to take the low greens first (med theory, basic env) before beginning the trek up yellow. It could be several years before the 'active' player hits these techs, but under what I 'think' I should be doing, I theoretically could be researching those techs several shadow years in a row.

So will we have like an objective of 'this year we will arm up to attack planet xyz' or 'this year we will concentrate on research in order to get to trade good abc'. Maybe not that specific, but something specific enough so that we have something to compare, but not enough direction that we all have the same thing?
