So I always thought that for tech0 components, miniaturization doesn't come into play.

However in a game I'm currently in, having Prop13 is causing the engine QJ5 to cost 2/0/1/2 while having prop14 is resulting in QJ5 costing 1/0/1/1.

According to the archives (RGCS), base components - those with no tech requirements - appear to have a tech level of 0, but in actuality the operate as if they require ALL tech fields to be at level 0. So miniaturization does occur, but only when ALL tech fields increase.

In other words, if you're at Weapons 12 and Bio 0, your laser will cost full price. If you research Bio to level 4 the next year, your laser will start to miniaturize (presuming, of course, all your other research was at level 4 or higher).

In your game, did you increase research in other, non-related fields?

Cheers,
Void
