Well thanks for confusing the heck out of me!!
I just added a feature to my modding program that tells you the total tech cost for an item but I had a different formula. After half an hour of head scratching I realized they gave the same results. Just to confuse you back here is what I used
Low cost - each level adds Cost x 1.
(5000, 10000, 15000, 20000, ...)
Medium cost
level 2 cost twice level 1, then each level thereafter adds (Level - 0.5) x Cost.
(5000, 10000, 22500, 40000, ...)
High cost
each level adds (Level - 0.5) x Cost x 2.
'(5000, 20000, 45000, 80000, ...)
