mod idea

[Ed Kolis]

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?

stars! noglestia. and cutting down on deep thought. only reasons. unless someone else can think of more.

The only reason that old games did that is because it was a part of measures to minimize the system resources need to play the game.
