2 Questions about Missions and Spacefaring

[th_pion]

1. When I have 2 missions I only can take one of them?

2. When a race is only a few seconds away from becoming spacefaring and I give them the tech, I get the same boni/mali as if I would have give it to them 2 hours ago. Wouldn't it make more sense for these values to go down?

1. Yep.

2. Yea, it's a bit weird right now. The rewards and influence changes really should be proportional to the amount of time you saved that race.

As for number 2, I wonder if a good solution to this might be a small interface change to the perception of it. Instead of having a ticking clock, just give a descriptor telling how far along they are space flight progress, from "Still working on the basics" to "imminent". The rewards and attitude adjustments could be based on what "tier" they currently are in progress.
