armor lv4, armor lv5 and armor lv6
That's a pretty good idea. It might have some holes in it. Like what if they offer you level 5 and you are only on level 2, that sort of thing. BUt they could probably be worked out.

Deceipt and treachery in some instances are part of the game. You always have the ability to exact your revenge. in SEIV, you don't have to take them to court, you can take the law into your own hands.

The biggest problem with the current system though IMHO is you could completely inadvertantly screw somebody because they already have an equal level of the tech to you they will get no use from the trade. It could be an honest mistake, but it doesn't make them any happier about it.

If in that case, you just got level 3 of that tech. You should told the true to trade partner and you KNOW what you have.

If you want lv5 of that tech, you should ask for lv 3,4 & 5.

Could Modding can fix this kinda problem?

No, unless you make each level of a tech area into a separate tech area. IMHO, That is more work than it is worth.

Not to mention hellishly cluttered.. I suppose you could always switch the Alpha Centari style system (there are only 4 tech areas there, it's different levels in each that give the various stuff)
