mmm, i imagine it would need alot of coding .

So, what about making it 36 ticks long, with a shuffle at 24 ticks (which leaves 12 ticks for you to get to know your galaxy before the incoming arrives - or not, given that production takes time), and then you either;

1) remove the bottom tier of the most common researches (eg, HCT1, Infrastructure 1 and what... Ship 1?), or preferably;
2) Give people the option of xyz ticks worth of research and/or abc ticks of construction to distribute at their leisure in accordance with their own start-up stategies.

I prefer 2) because it means that if you want to be a scanner, then you dont have to do silly ship research so early. However, the downside is that it might lead to some unusual results as people scurry to get exactly 1 more research or construction done rather than the 'best' combination. But ultimately, that's up to them imo.
