More and more info keeps flowing from GPG about SupCom2. There's an article on gamespot with really good information about what awaits us in SupCom 2. If you're interested in knowing more about the tweaks on the Strategic zoom and on the research point system, you have to read this... if you haven't done so already.

Research points can be spent on developing a variety of different improvements for your land, air, or sea forces, as well as for your structures and your ACU unit. These improvements all appear in a technology-tree-like in-game interface that lets you pull up the branching research tree in-game and spend your points on various improvements. Research improvements include bonuses to your existing units, like weapon upgrades or personal energy shields, and unlocking newer units to be constructed at one of the three types of military structures. There are also various economic bonuses that may help you gather and store more mass and energy quickly, as well as powerful enhancements for your ACU unit that can be defensive. These include an escape pod enhancement that launches the head of the ACU (while the body collapses), letting your Supreme Commander make a hasty retreat or, instead, power up your ACU to make it strong enough to actually go toe-to-toe with the highest end experimental units in the game...and win.
