-collective thought nexus (system research facil)

religious 1500
adv religious 800

crystal 1500
adv crystal 800
-new crystal weapons
-crystal stealth armor

organic 1500
adv organic 1500
-new organic weapons
-organic ships and components
-organic growing yards

planet bound:
no advanced spaceflight (requirement for larger hull sizes, some engine classes)
no space shipyards

spaceborne:
no colonization
advanced spaceflight
space shipyards

(note that planet bound & spaceborne will be 0 points, and should both be taken for a normal player)

PR:
-crossover crew converting seeker, broadcast prerecorded religious visions.

PT:
-baddass crossover singularity weapon

PC:
-crystal thought transmitter, healing crystals transmit good thoughts thru a system

PO:
-psychic anti-boarding armor
-telekenitic armor (provides TK shields)

RT:
-spiritual crew quarters

RC:
-crystal fertility shrine: religious hippies get worked up about this crystal shrine, and breed like crazy. happy bonus too

RO:
-zealot drop pod

TC:
-time accelerated stelar harnass, crystal stellar resource gathering into a pocket of accelerated time to increase collection volumes

TO:
-time lapse growth facilitator (organic resource booster)

CO:
-organic crystal armor
-crossover weapon

advanced everything:
-allows research of Applied Science Fiction Lore, granting access to the Sci-Fi Canon. (i lied when i said it would not be in the mod, but it will take decades to build)

STANDARD TECHS:

armors:
-tachyon dampners, as typical
-ablative armor, smallest armor, per devnull
-plasma armor, slightly larger armor, more efficient and higher cost. tweaked Version of the P&N plasma armor.
-neutron armor, not quite as good as other advanced armors, but far less repair heavy
-racial armors, as described above
-buckytube kept, prerequisites added before advanced features can be obtained. also requires nanotech

nanotech:
-allows buckytubes
-nanofactories, prohibitive research costs, very efficient repair at 1/component.
-nanodisassemblers, weapons in missile, cannon, and torpedo form. (low on the list of things to do)
-allows GAP nano-treated pants (isnt that shameless? did you hear about that silly stuff?)

cloaking:
-asteroid fields, provide level 2 passive EM
-stealth armor, provides levels 2-4 passive EM
-active offsource dispersion cloak, provides levels 2-4 active EM, psychic, temporal
-gravetic cancelation field, provides 2-4 gravetic cloaking
-sensors stay the same

shields:
-shields, phased shields, shield generators, regenerative shields, and hardened generators -are all being tweaked and slightly reworked

supplies:
-fighters use less supplies, and their engines therefore carry less.
-quantum reactors have prerequisites in the engines field, and are also much bigger.

ships and movement:
-most devnull hull sizes used
-battlemoon stolen from P&N
-movement system stolen from P&N and slightly shifted to allow fewer engines.
-no bonus movement. solar sail kept as a supplyless, slow engine. it does store a tiny bit and charge from solar power incase all supplies are used in a fight. that way its movement will stay above 1
-inertialess drive added above quantum engines
-temporal probability drive in the adv temporal tree.
-more emphasis placed on combat movement. various tactical drives added as Versions of their interstellar counterparts.

weapons:
-standard missile sizes used
-devnull missiles added
-P&N heavy bombardment renamed to shield bombardment to avoid conflict with the original
-devnull point defense systems added
-devnull destinction between fighter PD and missile PD kept, and refined.
-advanced racial and crossover weapons added

ship and base components:
-engineering bay kept, construction and bridge component removed
-battle bridge kept, tweaked
-astrometrics bay added, low level active and passive EM scan
-construction dock added, enables small construction and retrofits
-dry dock, massive and very expensive base-only construction facility. better than planet based.
-noncombattant ships and bases reworked for general purpose construction or mining, poopey combat modifiers. tried to make them standard noncom ships rather than kludgey purpose-built hull sizes.

stellar manipulation
-maintained the destinction between monolithic construction and SM.
-currently resisting the urge to create very costly research projects leading to fighter based SM
-original monoliths used

applied political science
-leads to riot suits, troops big enough to hold a cockpit, similar to the drop troops but not good for combat.

construction:
-mineral heavy construction yard available at a higher cost
-organic heavy construction yards available to advanced organic races

races:
-expanded race cultures list shamelessly stolen
-negative racial traits added
-currently hunting for formations to steal

events:
-events mod shamelessly stolen

mines:
-specialty mines dropped in (engine, weapon, null) but at higher cost, and larger warheads. prerequisites for all.
-mine scanner got the axe for play ballance reasons
