Update:

The technology tree structure and its use in the game structure was more complicated then anticipated. In the end, it seemed that the suggestion made by JeffMC in a Freestars post was most reasonable as far as 'structure' and 'approach.' While I wanted to do some awesome "OOP" design, in the end a single object for all technology components seemed to be the way to go. I still think a composite design pattern will work. In the end, I needed something implemented, that works. OOP-Awesome was not necessarily a requirement.

So now, a host can generate a custom tech tree from the command line, save the entire standard tech tree to a file (thanks to mikeford1 for his work on the standard technology and the template_tech.py file). A host can also save 1-n 'blank' components to the tech file. This would allow the Host to edit the technology values (as long as they don't alter the key). The file can then be used to generate a game.

The ShipDesign object was a byproduct of working on the technology tree. I will be working on fleets and associated 'how fleets and players interact' design as soon as I clean up a few things in the player object.

Happy New Year!
