Technology Advances in BAQ

    The ST:BAQ tech tree generally conforms to canon Trek tech except where the dynamics of the CIV2 engine forces some creative additions. Unlike Civ2, there are no epochs. The tech icons come in five flavours:

    Weapons - an armour clad figure firing a weapon on a transparent background

    Infotech - represented by ones and zeros on a rich blue background

    Space Travel - represented by the Apollo Capsule on a black background

    Academic and Science - represented by the atomic symbol on a green background

    Social - represented by the man/woman symbols on a weak blue background

    Race Specific - Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Borg

     

    Ship designs always require a design specific advance and should not be traded away too easily as these designs are race specific. Always click help and search the civilpedia when in doubt.

     

     DISCONTINUOUS TECH LINEAGE

    For the purposes of protecting innate advantages, each main empire has Discontinuous Tech Linieage. For example, the advance Warbird Design which allows the Romulan Warbird will not lead to the D'deridex. The Romulans will get another advance during the game which can lead to the  D'deridex.
