AFAICT, each tech level is worth 200 points so that an extra 70 levels would be 14K points. For comparison, resource, research and intelligence generation (facilities) are added directly so that 50K research/turn would be 50K, and ships are 10 points/KT so that a 300KT transport would be worth 3K.

Must admit that I had never really thought about the Tech levels issue as all of my AI use the Filler Tech's. Interesting though, as races without Filler tech would be at somewhat of a diplomatic disadvantage due to the score difference.

Hopefully, if Aaron decides to address my email about the four tech queue issue (and the % settings not working), the need for Filler techs will go.

Incidently, I currently have the Filler techs topping out at Level 500, but this could be edited back to 50 I think - the four tech queue problem is not as significant in the middle and later stages of the game. Might do this as my next patch.
