RE: [FT] Tech Trees

>OTOH, what if you're trying to simulate different 
tech progressions? You have (as I see it) two 
areas you can approach this from: Limiting 
system types by "tech level" and affecting the 
costs and or masses by the same degree. 

For weapons, you can also adjust the range--eg Obsolete Beams have 4"
range bands, 2nd Line have 5", Bleeding Edge have 8", etc.  

You might also apply a diffusion factor and espionage factors to even
things out--it's a lot cheaper and easier to be second than first in a
particular field.
