Re: [FT] Tech Level? Is there such a thing?

The problem of tech levels is that they assume that everything changes
at
once.

Well, that DOES act as an argument for a 'tech block' system. Each line
can
be advanced, in the main, independently, but you can tie different
blocks
together, as you wish, by either/both using early parts of one line as
precursor, or/and reducing the research costs of particular advancements
in
others.

An idea for tech levels is to reduce the range bands for weapons, or
make
weapons heavier.  Here is my suggestion.  These are not real tech
levels,
but sliding levels of technological maturity.

So you're doing the adjustments for tech levels relative to two
combatants,
not fixed per level, right?
