Re: mod idea
no, things like construction, biology, propulsion, weapons. so, research would be very general.

Re: mod idea
well, if you researched say eight levels in construction when everybody else only had five, that would leave you less for weapons. or electronics or whatever. i don't know if you missing the point. um, what do you think the point is?

Re: mod idea
isnt it the same in SE right now? if you went straight up for DN's you'd have them way before everyone else - but then remember the Eee, who have DN's running around with shields I, sensors I, ECM I and APB I.

Re: mod idea
well, yeah. escept research would be a lot more general with only 6-10 techs. i imagine mostly people who like stars would play it. we could even give the techs and stars funny names like wammalammadingdong.

Re: mod idea
Taera, it sounds like basically what Narf is suggesting is you condense the tech tree into a small number of general areas - so instead of researching "Missile Weapons", "Point Defense Weapons", "Torpedo Weapons", "High Energy Discharge Weapons", etc., you just research "Weapons". Why you'd want to do that, I don't know, it just seems like it cuts down on the strategic possibilities for empires with different strategies coming in contact - remember SE2, where there was only one "tech area" - and it was insanely cheap to research?
