Tech Tree suggestion

July 18, 2006 12:47 PM from

I have a suggestion for research. When you aquire a tech (through trading, invasion or stealing) that is out of sequence with what you already have (ie stealing laser 5 when you only have laser 1) I would like all intervening techs to be grayed out and not show up as available. The excection, of course, would be techs that have other branches. For instance, if you only have Space Militarization and you get Beam weapon theory, Space Weapons does not disappear because it also branches into missiles and mass drivers.

Some techs provide a bonus (e.g., "Xeno Economics" provides a 5% economic bonus), so it is not only early techs with branches that would be useful. Also early techs are useful for trading with the AI.

i would say, you should have to research them for the bonusses and other branches, to be available, but you should get a research bonus for this tech if you have an advanced tech (e.g., research takes 20% less time for each advanced tech)
