Mod Packers - Research File Issues - EA & Toron

[Alpha Kodiak]

I suppose that if the actual research for troops is for the technology to be able to drop them from orbit, then some research would be required, but the current path of having to first research construction, then troops seems extreme. Perhaps troop technology should be a basic technology to research, rather than having to research construction first.

Of course, then the question, "Why do you need construction to build fighters when you can already build space ships?" comes up. It seems like fighters should be a basic tech to research, as well. Maybe I don't really understand what construction technology is supposed to represent.
