Summary0015079: Mass Tech Breakthrough: Everyone suddenly has great ideas!
DescriptionI can't stop the feeling that something is wrong if all races have a tech breakthrough at the same time - and in different techs, too! This can't be a coincidence.

Also notice that the Skylaxians apparently researched personal shields twice that way!

From: Observer game, highest strategic difficulty.

Yeah, I saw this in my 2nd turn on the succession game on the AAR forum. Every race suddenly had a spontaneous tech breakthrough. I think it occurred at the same time as them gaining some Mk 2 hulls since each race seemed to unlock a new ship at the same time.

They were also doing the "expend resources to gain tech faster thing" pretty frequently, but that might be from imbalances caused by a save from before 1.0 interacting with newer changes.

For 1.017:

* Fixed a bug where the mechanic used for automatically unlocking Low Drag Casings and related technology when its minimum year was passed was actually _logging_ as if it had researched whatever the race was currently trying to research. The proper tech was unlocked (and the other one wasn't), but it looked very confusing to see so many simultaneous scientific breakthroughs on different techs, etc.

Thanks :)
