beta3d: defense mainframes misplaced on tech tree?

seems like a mini-bug: the Xalax and Zalon defense coordinator modules are enabled not by their own techs, but by "advanced defensive techniques" on a seperate branch. looks like the "xalax" tech itself is useless?

I just noticed this last night while looking at the various tech trees.

On a related note (possibly), after researching the Drath Offensive/Defensive Meditation Modules, I can't find them on the ship-building screen. Has anyone come across them on another part of the tech tree as is the case here, or found them to be missing entirely? Was looking forward to having a play with them! Playing 3D, downloaded the other night and enjoying it so far (especially war profiteering, very lucrative indeed, even if I can't spend all my money on fancy ships).

Another tech that seems to be missing its ship components is the Ion beam weapon (ranks 1 2 and 3), at least in the Korath tech tree.

These have just recently both been fixed.

I'll look into fixing this, I have verified that it is still a problem in the latest build.

thanks guys,
