Re: Balance Mod
The estimated technology screen is in error when it reports the racial trait technologies. SE5 is not correctly checking the requirements before displaying the estimates. The Terrans do not have access to the traits.
Solar Generators shouldn't be effective in single star systems. They'd be far too unbalancing. They're a supplemental facility that in certain situations (binary/trinary systems, low resource value planets) can provide a needed boost - particularly with the later upgrades.
The per-kT effectiveness you gain with a ship is what you're really paying for with the tech costs. Level 1 in Light Cruisers is cheaper than Level 3 in Frigates, but the level 3 Frigate is more effective than a level 1 Light Cruiser.
