CE Tech Tree

Greetings everybody,

after playing a few games of CE and being pretty confused about the tech tree I decided to write some things down and map what prerequirements existed.
Because there is no proper Tutorial in the mod yet I feel that there should be a way to help new (and old ) players with their games so that's what I did.

Following is a Tech tree (currently only for Vaygr) of all the technologies in the game, what rank you will need to unlock them, research requirements, etc. It's a PDF that you can just download and print out (note though that it's 2 pages wide so it would probably be pretty small).
If you find any mistakes in spelling or the tree itself just post it below and I'll get on fixing it ASAP. Note that I'm also working on the Hiigaran tech tree soon.

Before you go here is a little explanation:

Background colour - Represents the required rank
Red Boxes - Ships/ Units
Blue Boxes - Research
Green Boxes - Modules
Yellow Boxes - Abilities

Lines that would be unclear to read have been labeled.
Sequential upgrades (1/3 --> 2/3 --> 3/3) are marked as such with smaller square boxes to represent the upgrades.
Also note that I didn't include all upgrades yet. Some are only "hinted" at by "All dmg upgrades" etc.

Changelog:

Cheers,

Stickied. Keep going, this is awesome.

Good thing I don't have anything better to do :p



Updated link in original to second version. This puppy is getting complex....

You might almost say. Complex...........enhanced.... :')

Artillery and Warfare frigate are missing from Lieutenant.

Also add Command fortress to admiral rank. Other than that, I think it's finished.
Really good job right there, I think this will help people a lot.

Args...yea I always do that^^ Add the research and then forget to add the ship
It's all fixed now.

Also, if we could maybe host these somewhere else at some point that'd be cool. I'm alright putting them on my webserver for a while but can't garuntee that I won't accidentally delete them when throwing out old data :p

Anyways, new version is up

Nice work
EDIT: Waiting for Hiigaran....

Wot, no cup of coffee, to keep the brain awake! Hmm, reminds me of my desk, except I have3 comps and a cup of tea — damned if I can find anything on the desk though :-O

Ah well that's just 1/3 of my desk. I have another computer to the left of that (keyboard hinted at) and some more space left of that. The tea pot was over there :p Not much of a coffee girl^^

Yep, spotted the edge of an Apple keyboard — nice one

Well to be honest I would very much like to shift the attention onto the fold ruler above the keyboard. Clearly the most important thing on that desk :')

And now back to topic. We could have a "Post your desk" thread in the Off Topic forum. Also hurray, my 80th post \o/

Good Idea

on a side note the tech tree needs an overhaul

Could you drop me a link to the trees (the links wern't working) and we need to look where the bottlenecks are

What do you mean by overhaul? Is there something missing? Or unclear? Or do you mean in the game that we should restructure the tech trees?

The links are working fine for me but I'll be on in a sec, I'll drop you the file on Skype.

When the Hiigaran one is ready, I will include it in the download btw.
