Does anyone risk doing this?

I notice that everyone in my games tends to have weapons expensive. Trading for weapons tech sounds like it would be really easy. Also, as WM I started with high weapons, and haven't really gotten a benefit from taking weapons cheap so far.

especially in a 50 turn game, i feel like it was a waste to get W cheap? In a short game is it better to just take everything expensive?I have too many cheap techs, which both helped and didn't help. I stole some techs here and there, but i felt with the amount of fighting i did I could have stolen more with worse tech settings. Most of the fights that occur are one-sided, so i feel even with worse ships, it wouldn't have made a difference. if you are fighting equal # or worse, are outnumbered, then you should be trying to avoid engagement i would think.

Plus it's stressful to worry about people stealing tech off your new designs.
