Hull is still to high for ints and probably bombers.

So from what I see, they start with only scouts?

Yep. They start 'only' with scouts.

Also, if the hull is too high for ints/bbrs, it can be manually lowered

As in, shot down?

Nah, just some application of friendly fire!

Really, though, it can be lowered in ICE so that it's a lower number that the modifier is modifying

Whats the cost data on tech bases?

Standard - 10k? (12.5k?)
Adv - ??

Keep in mind that if your only prereq is enh ship, you're negating the 25k (31.25k for this faction) upgrade cost.

The 'Standard' techbase is 15-20k
The 'Advanced' Techbase is going to be 15-25k

I figure that the 'Standard' should be a bit more expensive because it can build on any tech rock and can go to any tech. The 'Advanced' techbase is a little cheaper than the upgrade because it's a second base (Thus requiring another tech rock), the ship upgrades are 7.5k/10k/10k (before modifiers) instead of the regular free/7.5k/10k, and the 'Standard' techbase also has some of the cost.

What?

What do you mean 'What'?

Their 'Techbase' can build on any tech rock, and then can 'go' any techpath, but they have to buy the ships and the tech and all for that techpath.

You're making all the upgrades available after building a single base?

Sounds like Andon means any enh level stuff can be built from this initial base, but to get adv level tech, you need a specialist base. If so, it sounds like GT but with a twist.
