Hey Lemmy,

1st, good work! I'm glad that someone with computer skill is taking this project on. It seems like a big project IMIO (In My not so Informed Opinion).

I'm curious though... the full names of the technologies are very long, and so are difficult to get onto one page. Could your program rip the associated picture out of the pics folder instead? Then each tech would represented by basically an icon. Then if the player wants more info, have the hanging "about" window hover over the icon.

Hmmm.. actually, does each tech have a picture, or is that each component and facility? Crappy, well maybe have one of the components or facilities mini-pic act as an iconographic representation of the technology?
