A small research idea

So I noticed that with the current research system, the player always go for 1/1/1 then 2/2/2 then 3/3/3 bo. I thinked about giving him a bonus research if he rushes one of them, for example, a lvl 1 research brings 1 point, a lvl 2, 2 etc. If the player reaches a total of [x] points in speed, attack, or defense, he will unlock a special research in the general tech tree (the fleet one) that brings him +20 % speed for all his ships, or 10 % dammages, or 10 % hull strength. Once he unlocked a special research, he can't unlock the others.
Imo, that would force the players to be more specialized, and would bring to the game more tactics and variety.
Thoughts?

actually this is a rather nice idea.. which could be used to unlock super advanced ships... something like, if someone researches ALL the fighter upgrades to 3/3 then they can build the Bentusi Super Acolyte from Cataclysm.

or if someone upgrades all the frigate weapons and defence, they unlock micro force fields for all the frigates O,o

its a pretty nice idea, but would make the tech tree a bit of an issue which it already is right now.

I think once we are done taking out the prereqs for hulls with hiig, this can be done.

Not sure how to only enable one of the upgrade types, while disabling the others...
The idea is nice though.

The PTV mod uses this, so it is possible and I like the idea.
