I think that I have this same discussion earlier about mines and cloaking.

Early mines where easier to detect than later mines. That's why we invented mine detectors and then developed pLastic mines to defeat them.

If we have everything component based then it then based on the tech you have against the tech I have and not on an ability of just having tech 1 mines.

Each to there own I supposed that's what is good about the game!
