If you could increase the number of loadout slot drops while you're at it, that'd be great. Goal of this is to create fewer stalemate situations and have progression be closer to in a traditional RTS campaign. As a bonus, there are no longer throwaway techs that can't benefit you.
I like your idea. TBH, I think all tech should be allowed, but by default EVERYTHING costs 300% more, and anything "unlocked" cost regular 100% original cost. This way, you won't use tech you don't have because it is too expensive as a go-to, but you can if it is literally the only option in that layer. Generally, I like how your cards actually do what the current cards attempt to do, either enforce current tech, or advance the tech. Yours just ensures the prerequisite. I am not sure if this was a serious mod request, but I like the idea nonetheless. It is short sighted, it assumes GW won't change dramatically and have the tech change or the starting blueprints change or how you obtain tech change or how planets display it's tech available changes...
I've been fiddling with Galactic War cards and everything you've suggested should be doable. I might start working on something like this, but for now I'm just going to keep playing with giving commanders flamethrowers n stuff.
