Make a message on the turn start when you unlock a tech to research that contains a ship, or ship level.
Or just have it mention the new technologies available.
Also, since you have some technologies that have a gold border, make a purple border for those that have ships.
I have been looking at these and quite frankly, I will NEVER bother using them. Which means I would not bother researching those.
With the current Mass cap on reactors, those armors are just too heavy to use. I already don't bother with most of the armors anyhow... ..
I have enough problems mounting decent weaponry, so I tend to ignore the armors. They are just not mass-efficient enough for me... Aside from the 8s. And that's assuming I can even fit those on. I can not fathom how useful a new ship can be when 80% of it is simply armor and chassis. (And yes I do understand that one doesn't always need to use the higher level ship chassis, which is part of the point)
Speaking of reactors.....why isn't there a 2ap/4mp after 4000 mass? That leads me to question... Why is the VM Whirlwind 3 so much crappier than the mark 2? +1 defense should not cost an additional 40t mass with a 28cr/turn increase in upkeep cost while having lower damage output (both min/max and average)
And yes, I did notice the new reactors that are all nice for mass....granted the weapons also increase in mass at a phenomenal rate....
