So looking thru the Continuim rules I found the Technology Section. The rules say to choose about 10, but seeing as how the NAC and ESU were at 12, that what I picked for mine and my daughters fleet, 12. But then I wanted to see what others had chosen, it kind of surprised me.

NAC = 12
ESU = 12
American Rep = 20 (really???)
Colonial = 17
Bab 5-
Alliance = 13
Earthforce = 18
Shadows = 11
Vorlon = 10
Drakh = 5
Rangers = 10
Federation = 17
UNSC = 14

I've not played the tech game, still fiddling with what I do and don't like about the basic changes, so can't really comment, but it does pique my interest.

Thanks for pointing it out!

The limit of ten is just a suggestion and each player group should decide what limitations they want to impose if any. Each player should have the same amount of 'tech choices' however.

UNLESS you want unequal tech.

Have you done much testing of build points using asynch tech, Jim? Assuming equal number of choices, of course.

Weve done some competitive games with each player getting ten choices. It makes for an interesting challenge and cuts down on some of the more bizzarre 'cheesey' combinations
