Missing tech? Psionic Beam

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm researching Phasors and it say future techs are Phasors II and Psionic Beam. After researching Phasors and Phasors II, no Psionic Beam. What gives? Is this just a Evil tech like Psionic missile? I'm kinda bummed out about the beam reasearch tree. In the gun tree, there is the Nano Ripper pretty quick and at +5 attack, a prety good buy. There doesn't seem to be any thing like that in the beam or missile tree. If so, it seems like a waste of time to try those two techs when you get quick return on the gun tree. Paul G.

It used to be there. I just noticed it was gone too in my last Yor game. I assume it will be back in an update soon.

Yes, it is only an evil tech. If you haven't researched Xeno ethics and chosen evil, it won't appear.

So you're saying it's gone now? I find that hard to believe. Probably you hadn't gone evil before you got to the point where you expected psi beam to be.

The missle tree has more damage overall, throughout development.
The beam tree tends to be (slightly) quickest to research each step, and to take up the least room, least cost when mounted.
Nano Ripper is nice, but amazingly expensive to mount. Often you can put other combinations into the same space for less cost that collectively do similar damage.

Hmm, thanks dreamrider. I've never really checked out the cost. Guess I've got champange taste on a beer budget. Paul G.

Evil techs rule! Can confirm that it 'IS' in the game but again, you must be evil to take advantage of this (and similar) weaponry. Come on now, let's all laugh together...
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

PS: Sorry for using so much space.
