Ah, thanks for the information. I had "Own Tech Only" on. I just scrounged a wreck and got me an ECM that is two levels ahead of my current tech, so I am looking forward to putting it on one of my armored sensor ships . I also got some research points from the same wreck .
Steve, this is a great game. I am having so good a time, that I find it very difficult to shut down this world of mine in order to start a new one in 6.21 - I don't like using SM or doing quick OOBs, as I prefer to start from conventional and do it the hard way, making my mistakes and fixing them or living with them, and this takes a loooong time.
Can we expect a change in the database soon? Because if so, then I will stay in this world until then .
