Steve, how are you handling the NPR tech allocations?I have organised the tech into groups and an NPR will select a tech group and then work its way through the systems in that group. Sometimes those will be optional. For example, if the NPR selects the engine tech group it will definitely create a queue for reactor tech, engine tech and fuel efficiency tech. It may then add engine platform (33%), power vs efficiency (33%), thermal reduction (25%), hyperdrive efficiency (20%), so it could research as few as three techs in the group and as manay as seven. At game start the NPR will be set some mandatory groups. Assuming starting tech points remain it will then select some of the optional ones. During a game, it will select the next group based on a weighted random selection.
