Liquid Research and a Lock out button

[Omnirizon]

this would be one of those nice to have things.

for research it would be great if the pool was liquid, so points could be assigned exactly (as is, it seems that each researcher has to be totally on one path or the other)

also, it would be great to have a 'lock out' feature on the research settings so that the amount of research in one path could be locked, and wouldn't change while the other paths were adjusted. If you want to fiddle with more than two paths, it is nigh impossible to get them all set where you actually want them.

of those two things, i'd rather see a lock out feature.
of course, some one's probably going to post and show me how there already is one.
