Yeah, somebody else noticed that. No one seemed to know if that was a bug or not. Analyzing a ship with two DUC5's doesn't give you DUC2 and DUC3 in the same turn. But, apparantly analyzing a carrier with fighter bay III took him from fighter I to fighter III.

No one checked to see if it was a bug or if it was a Heavy Carrier (requires Fighters V) with Fighters III (requires Fighters III) that took him from I to II to III.

Or if he was 0.1 turns away from researching fighters II, got there with the Analyze then immediately applied the research points to II to get to III. Which is what I always try to do deliberately. After all, you don't want the same technology as someone else, you want to be at least a little bit better Muh ha ha ha.
