Question: I tried the "ALLTECH" cheat someone mentioned in some thread somewhere, as I wanted to see what sort of technologies are avaliable later in the game. I have to say, I hope that a lot of techs aren't included in the demo, because the results seemed pretty sparse, even in comparison to SEIV. Is this the case?
Also, a lot of the weapon damage formulas seemed to be weird, because it looked like at max level pretty much everything is inferior to anti-proton beam, including all the high-energy weapons and so forth. I thought this was pretty weird?

If you look more closely, you'll find that even the APB is inferior to the Meson Blaster, which has the same damage and range, but is smaller and uses less supply. Also, the Meson Blaster version of point defence is a slam dunk compared to the other two forms of PD. Because of the way the formulas are written (Meson Blaster starts at lower damage but gets the same amount per level), I'm going to make an early call and say that the Meson Blaster will be the best weapon in the game, the Phased Polaron Beam of SEV.
Anyway, only some of the techs are actually included in the demo, and I suspect that some of the techs we did get are disabled (people are reporting that emissive does nothing, for instance, which I hope means that it's disabled for the demo rather than bugged).
