Development Weight for Tech and Design Ratios[]

Development Weight for Tech and Design Ratios serves to 2 purposes.

  1. It is used for calculation of the amnout of Tech and Design points that are generated during development (see Tech and Design Points Generation Algorithm)
  2. It determines minimum Tech and Design point required for Specialization training (= 900 * Development Weight for Tech and Design Ratio).
