Can a tech be removed from the list and how? I'd like to disable or remove the Final Frontier especially so that the game doesn't have to end. -jim

Just disable the tech victory when you're setting up the game conditions as it will amount to the same thing.

No idea if this will work, but this little gem in GCTech.TECH offers a suggestion:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------
TECH 999 ImpossibleTech
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name "Impossible Tech"
Model ""
Tech_Requirement "ImpossibleTech"
Research_Cost 55000
Overview "If you're seeing this it means you're looking at this tech file. Naughty naughty."
Description "This tech is impossible to research. So we use it as the requirement for one time units."
Tech_Category 4
ENDTECH

So try changing final frontier to this:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------
TECH 89 FinalFrontier
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name "Final Frontier"
Model ""
Tech_Requirement "999"

That may prevent you from ever being able to research it... it may also cause the game to crap out, your car to break down, your wife to leave you, the sun to implode and/or releasing an evil force called Draginol from dark stasis.

I suggest just disabling a tech victory on the begining screen when you start a new game. Then it doesn't matter if you research it the game will continue.

You can remove a Tech from the list by commenting it out, like so:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------
//TECH 999 ImpossibleTech
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Name "Impossible Tech"
// Model ""
// Tech_Requirement "ImpossibleTech"
// Research_Cost 55000
// Overview "If you're seeing this it means you're looking at this tech file. Naughty naughty."
// Description "This tech is impossible to research. So we use it as the requirement for one time units."
// Tech_Category 4
// ENDTECH

Best to make a backup, just in case things go wrong. Also, you can check the backup if and when you decide to add the tech back into your games.

End transmission.
