[Baron Munchausen]

This is an example of a completely different approach in MOO and SE. The MOO techs are stable in performance. Once you get Gauss Cannons or Phasers or whatever, their performance doesn't change. But as your technology improves you can miniatureize them. SE is just the opposite but you COULD completely revise the SE tech files to work more or less like MOO. Just edit all the various techs to have the same performance at all levels but the component gets smaller and cheaper at each level. That would be a lot of work, though!
