After reading, i was getting some ideas, since i played some space games in videogames.
Maybe a small variant is needed to test on this new discoveries.
These discoveries would need something to pay for upgrading the ships, like the following:
Interceptor - No cost to upgrade
Cruisers - Pay 1 or 2 Mats to upgrade
Dreadnought - Pay 3 or 4 Mats to upgrade.
Thematically, i believe that the prodution of these techs have an increased cost due the size.
