Clan of Xymox Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi all, here's an odd thing I noticed on my turnsheets. On the researchable items list I have both MkI Field Hospital and MkII Field Hospital ??? Going back a few turns i noticed that the MkII became researchable after completing 2nd Gen Medical Science (educated guess, I completed several research topics that turn). So why would I still wanna research MkI Field Hospital.. unless it unlocks something new to research? And shouldn't MkII become available only after completing MkI ? perhaps in combination with 2nd Gen Medical Science as a prerequisite??? Pete / Russ / anyone ???

Rene <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mk I Field Hospital and Mk II Field Hospital have different prerequisites. Since all ground based technology "stacks" you may wish to research both tech for a greater Medical TAC value. The Medical catergory is one of the categories that you start with no tech, thus you have a TAC value of "0" in this regardless of the units you have. It is not a bad idea to research Mk I Field Hospital (3 turns) and find out what units have the Medical Category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Pete mentioned some time ago that this was an oversight and should not have happened, however the Mk I field Hospital only takes 3 turns for a standard RB race to get so it wasn't worth tring to fix. If you are going for ground tech you should get both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTGPete Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yes, this can happen. It's ok to have both techs researched, or skip the Mk I if you can research the Mk II directly. In ground combat, every tech that you have counts toward TAC bonuses, so even if you already have the Mk II it's ok to subsequently research the Mk I, just to get more TAC points in the event of a ground combat.

Clan of Xymox Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Okay, thanks for the answers, they are very helpfull. Now I know I don't have to worry and that it's not a bug either. However, i will be concentrating on spaceship and associated technology for now.
