    This is true, since tech like XL engines doesn't ever become available to small craft, as technology advances they get left behind, they're much more viable at introtech levels than once you've got all the bells and whistles. They're a bit like LAMs that way, which have the same problem. The...

    Not minis, I think, but TROs. The Technical Readout books have always been the cash cow for the franchise. I feel like the millstone comes from this and one other issue. They can't ever errata the design rules, even the really stupid ones, because it would invalidate a TRO and that's...
