I think it would. In the previous tech refinement topic, you guys were trying to find a balance btw advanced old tech or prototype new tech. This could help that balance, by encouraging the user to refine and use their existing tech, so that few techs will just end up obsolete.
Thoughts?

Tech advancement
I think a good way to add fuller integration of the technology system would be to add bonuses based on the user's use of certain techs. For example, when you give a ship or a soldier a newly developed plasma weapon, it would be little more than a prototype. As the soldier/ship(s) use(s) that weapon,...

Re: Ideas for balancing weapons vs widgits.
Perhaps a ship that uses a bunch of weak weapons could suffer from innefficiency and inaccuracy, while a ship that has a number of large weapons does poorly against fighters and small ships.

Re: Regarding research
I think it would also be cool if a new tech improved or changed previous tech. For example, research that developed plasma-based-engines would radically improve ordinary plasma rifles that you developed 40 turns ago and is now useless. Or, you could add levels to an existing tech like crude plasma r...

Re: Space Combat: Tech Tree?
Will the ship creation be similar to Moo3? I liked the way ships were created in that game, with PD, LR, IF, PD, Carrier. Will all of these be included, or will LR include C and IF? Also, I don't really like how the ship hulls only have a couple spaces for systems and weapons, etc. I think there sho...

Splinter
I was just thinking about ways to add depth to a 4x game, and I came up with a pretty good idea. In a real society, if a government behaves poorly or against popular opinion, there will be unrest, which is already present in Master of Orion. However, it is usually contained in one planet, where the ...

Fast Tech
Hey. I'm new to the project, and am aware that it is incomplete, but it looks like it has a lot of potential. However, one suggestion I have is to slow down the tech development. Within the fisrt few turns, I developed like 50 new techs just by queing it up. The tech itself is sweet though, with spe...
