Tech Tree/Dependency Question

posted on November 15th, 2012, 9:04 pm

Hello all,

I know that with new ODF commands and the other changes that the FleetOps team has made, ships can now have dependencies based on various conditions. For example, the "mixed tech" ships that require you to be allied to another race etc.

I was wondering if there was a way to limit a research topic based on what ships are currently on the map. For example, the Federation should only be able to conduct an Enemy Ship Pattern Report once the AI starts fielding Dreadnoughts. Is there any way to do this?

I don't believe that is possible in 327. That is however possible in 400

Wait, your techtree can be dependent on what the enemy has in 4.0? Did I understand that correctly?

Yes because the new Techtrees will be .xml based and have and/or abilities....
