What does the star/asterisk next to a technology mean?
When I trade with other races, sometimes there is a little star (*) next to a technology. This happened both with my technologies and theirs.
Unfortunately as with many things in GalCiv 2, it is nowhere explained in the GUI.
What does the star mean?
Best Answer
After intensive search I finally found this thread which reveals that
The asterisks mark techs that are unique to the civ but can be traded.
I guess that makes sense, Xeno Slavery is something that can only be researched by the Drengin according to the GalCiv2 wiki:
The Drengin Tech Tree replaces Xeno Engineering with Xeno Slavery.
So it appears that through trade you can acquire technology that would be unavailable through normal research.
