It was the worst ever case of petrolium crisis I ever witnessed (yes, I was alredy here in 70ies, albeit as a small child) !

Geoschmo,

No need to look up the formula for medium tech cost - that one worked. Thanks a bunch!

One other question - do ANY units cost maintenance?

Nope sir. And that is probably their biggest plus, if you ask me.

Great Googaly Moogaly!!! Every planet I have will always have something going in the build queue (barring lack of resources, of course)....

Ok maybe this post is not for this specific topic about seekers,but I would like also to know something.
For example I have designed a small weapon platform and build it on a planet,after some turns i aquire better weapons so i design a new weapon platform same size as the old one.
Now to the point why I can not upgrade the old weapon platform with the new one,why must i first jettison cargo and then build the new designed platform instead to upgrade the existing one when have only free cargo place for one platform on that planet?

IMHO
When i can upgrade old ships to new designed ones then should at be also possible for any weapon platforms instead to build tham again

Units require no maintenance costs. So, that is a trade-off.

Shapeshifter: All I know is the void is littered with my discarded weapon platforms. Seems that it is hard-coded that way.
