I'm looking back on the tech in SMAC and I'm getting kind of confused. Bear with me cause this post might get all jumbly.
For the Cloudbase Academy, Domai's quote is used;
So this shows that in the year 2216 Doctrine: Airpower is discovered...and is, assumedly, possessed by the factions. We hit Planet on 2100. Ok, I'm just having some problems predicting when certain tech are discovered by the factions. For instance, the Flechette defense isn't discovered until very late in the game (Zeta-5 under attack by Progenitors in the quote).
Anyway, I'm just trying to figure out a basic timeline of tech discovery and I'm using this as a basis for my thinking. Lemme try explain, in 1940 jet planes were introduced...and now in 2005 we've refined the jet plane. 40 years. Blagh, I'm not making any sense, but if you guys could give me your view on when certain techs are discovered, or generally shared, it would help me a lot.
I'm pretty sure formers are the first tech shared with (almost) everyone...it's just those middle techs (like E5 and up) that are getting me confused.
Help please. Apologies for the scatterbrained post.
