Javascout:
That might be a good idea. I'll send copies of my tech tree to the library and see what they think about it.

Yeah Za H, ask Brad if he can up it in the library. I'm sure, like the rest of us, he'll find that it's a very good quality techtree.

Terrific service you have done for the community. Thanks a lot.
One question, I notice some of the techs like High Density metals give a +10 to economy but the game research tree doesn't say they do. Which is correct?

My site is created directly from the data files.
Barring a bug in the program the site should be correct.
High Density Metals has a Production Ability. This gives +10% to production.

I noticed that some numbers on the Database aren't quite accurate.
For instance: A Galactic Monument adds 10% to the economy and 33 to the influence (prestige) of the planet where it was built.
It does however add 10% to the overall influence skill of the empire.
The Galactic Stock exchange adds 25% to the economy and influence of the planet where it was built but ALSO 25% to the overall empire economy.
This distincion isn't present on the website yet but can be quite important.

JavaScout,
Thanks. Your and Za H's tech trees are sure a welcomed thing for this game.
I would though really appreciate a tech tree for just the starbase modules. I was using yours until there was a point where figuring out where to go next with research for the modules wasn't apparent. I then went back to just blindly reseach tech until something would pop up. I think some links are not in your tech tree since after blindly researching stuff, techs showed up (sorry, I don't recall what they were) that did allow me to build tech for modules. And, yes, I did thoroughly search your tech tree when I was lost then. I have it printed off and the nine pages all nicely laid out next to my computer.

Take a look at the quick reference.
It lists the starbase modules and the tech required to build them. (Some module also require a previous module to be build the quick reference lists those also)

Biggy Boy you are right in the it is not immediately obvious which bonuses apply civ wide. I will see what I can do to make the civ wide bonuses stand out.
It usually does state it in the description.

JavaScout,
It doesn't always make it too clear which is sector-only and which is civ-wide for the starbase modules either.  Sometimes it does, but other times (i.e., Stellar Wake and Foreigh Relations Center) it doesn't. A little help here would be appreciated.

Javascout, I've noticed that in the wonders.imp file it lists the separate changes quite clearly.
The first few items are planet-only and the last one is empire-wide.
Maybe that helps. I've been considering changing the descriptions to list this information too but that might spoil a bit of the atmosphere of the game.

JavaScout,
Excellent work! This kind of fan-based support can only improve the quality of the game.

Tech tree updated.
Split out the Ability bonus which is civ wide from the other planet wide bonuses on the improvements (Trade Goods and Wonders).

Has anyone noticed that technology costs can sometimes be much higher than what is listed in Javascout's database? I have consistently been paying +20-50% over the listed cost for my past few games in fact. I don't feel this is an inherent problem with the databse however, as I have noticed this research penalty is heaviest as I allocate a larger percentage of my spending towards research. Is there an undocumented diminishing returns penalty for research perhaps?

Hi JavaScout,
Nice work!
Under the Evil Research list there is one called Galactic Domination Philosophy. What does it do?
Thanks!

Any chance of "key technologies and improvements" list for each victory type?
Cultural comes naturally in 2-3 hours on small universe on mid-level difficulty, but I cannot even get close to a tech victory in 2-3 hours on beginner. I have the feeling I am missing something obvious.
The PDA idea above is a great one. This game screams for PDA support.
