Yor are still the only faction without starbase extension techs

Posted on Thursday, May 7, 2015

I brought this up earlier in the beta, and a few others have as well, but I'd like to address what I think is an oversight in the tech tree for the Yor.  Namely, they are the ONLY faction who are unable to extend their starbase Area of Effect.   I believe the reason for this might be that their range extension techs are placed in a different section of their tree instead of being based on "Life Support".

While this might not seem like a big deal, it does hurt them quite a bit, especially for people who play them as opposed to the AI.  The AI might not go too much into range extension (I honestly don't know), but I always make sure to get it. And from what I gather, it's even more important to power users.

This wouldn't be as big of a problem if factions could trade for techs outside of their tree.  But while last I heard that is on "the list", as far as I know it isn't going to make into the base game.

So I wanted to bring this up in the hopes that it is not too late to get it in to the Yor tech tree at release or very soon afterwards.
