There is one thing about the current trade and tech level discussion that
bothers me. Wouldn't it make sense for any planetary navy anywhere close
to a TL15 world to import Model 9 computers? The computer modifier, showing
up as it does in both the hit and penetration sections of the combat
resolution, is probably the most critical factor in ship combat. A fleet
with TL12 weapons and ships could seriously threaten a TL15 fleet if they
didn't have the computer differential to worry about. What effects does
this have on the game--if allowed, and if disallowed?
