Topic: Admiralty Tech levels

Tech levels were not applied under previous Starmada versions to:
Armor Plating,
Marines,
Nor the items listed now as Auxiliary Services (Cargo, Hospital, Repair, Science & Transport).

Page 42, The General Tech level seems to indicate that this has changed,
Also the questions in the Admiralty shipbuilder topic.
Is this correct?
Is there now a way to change the size of Marines (apart from feeding them gene modified crops that is?)

Yes, it has. For simplicity's sake, the General tech level applies to all options from Appendix B.

Heh... maybe. smile

But if that feels weird, you can think of it as not increasing/decreasing the size of Marines, but increasing/decreasing their effectiveness, so that it takes more/fewer troops to achieve the desired result.
