Fine by me.  Are the revised intervals based on Civ1, or ...?
(Apart from the tech checks.)

In current rulesets, buildings are mostly fixed, while
other things are flexible.  So the better thing is to 
dynamically check the tech requirement of B_SMODULE etc,
rather than hardwire A_SUPERCONDUCTOR etc.

If you also check improvement_exists(B_SMODULE) etc,
then in non-spacerace games you won't have an artificial
speedup in years if those techs get researched early.

Why Robotics?
