Very nice work!
I think that transwarp could have an interesting description, since it never did work; perhaps something like:
"The concept of a faster-than-warp drive system has been studied for many years. Unfortunately, the latest efforts at transwarp drive have been less than successful. However, the insights gained from the project have nevertheless allowed us to improve the power and efficiency of standard warp drive with the new theories in propulsion."
Will the tech tree be different in certain areas for different empires? For example, the Romulans developed the Artificial Quantum Singularity sometime in the early 2350's, the Romulans, Cardassians, and Klingons use disruptors rather than phasers, and the Dominion uses phased polaron technology. Any chance of mentioning these in their respective tech trees.
I don't mean change entire tech levels around in any way, just changing the names and descriptions of some of the breakthroughs for other empires.
Is that feasible?
Final idea: (And I promise this will be the last one on this topic....for now.
Will the Klingons and Romulans have a seperate cloaking technology research field, or will new cloaking devices be tied to computer, propulsion, and energy research?
That would be fine, so if say, those three areas reach a required tech level, you have the option of upgrading your ships' cloaking devices. That would be very, very nice....
