Re: mod idea
well, yeah. escept research would be a lot more general with only 6-10 techs. i imagine mostly people who like stars would play it. we could even give the techs and stars funny names like wammalammadingdong.

Re: mod idea
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?

Re: mod idea
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.

Narf
You could do the
Rock Paper Succors mod
SJ can describe it best.
I can't find the thread.
