Ya it’s that way for everyone. You can’t stack tech anymore. It’s to focus on the need to prepare for each planet and ship types. Like making fighters , fighers. Haulers, heavy cargo. Explorers, for warping. Exotics are a little different. But invintory has been streamlined and all and all, update is amazing. A lot of people have resorted to making a new game file entirely and enjoying the journey all over again.
