Re: mod idea
 

Taera, it sounds like basically what Narf is suggesting is you condense the tech tree into a small number of general areas - so instead of researching "Missile Weapons", "Point Defense Weapons", "Torpedo Weapons", "High Energy Discharge Weapons", etc., you just research "Weapons". Why you'd want to do that, I don't know, it just seems like it cuts down on the strategic possibilities for empires with different strategies coming in contact - remember SE2, where there was only one "tech area" - and it was insanely cheap to research? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

stars! noglestia. and cutting down on deep thought. only reasons. unless someone else can think of more.

Re: mod idea
 

The only reason that old games did that is because it was a part of measures to minimize the system resources need to play the game.
