Troops & Fighters research tree

Well, you could right-click on the tech area in the research queue and see if it says something like "Small Depleted Uranium Cannon" or "Small Anti-matter Torpedo." That is, if you've already researched Smaller Weapons. If not, then you already know there are a Small DUC and a Small AMTorp.

(Tbontob smacks himself on the forehead!)

Or I can start a game with everything researched and pick out the mini-weapons as you have described.

Thanx Krsqk

tbontob, yes, they have ROF 1 except in SE4 Gold (and I think in 1.49 too, though not in some earlier SE4 patches), Small Rocket Pods are fighter-only weapons. If you modded them to allow them on troops though, they would fire every ground combat round.

There are other troop weapons too under the racial techs, that this applies to. For example, organic acid weapons.

OK....

I started a game and all the small weapons are there.

It says DUCs can be used on troops and fighters

I have researched DUCs'5 and Troops2

In trying to design my troops, there are no weapons to select.

What's going on?

Whoa....

My notes say I can get small DUCs for my Troops if I Research fighters.

Is this true? Doesn't make a lot of sense if it is.

Yeah, DUC's are the exception - instead of researching Projectile Weapons and Smaller Weapons to get Small DUC's, you need to research Projectile Weapons and Fighters

[tbontob]

Thanks Ed

But is it the 'only' exception?
