I took a look at your turn since there are a few ways that this can happen.
It is limited, but it's limited to homeworlds. In this case, you've captured a neighbor's homeworld and so that planet doesn't have its tech levels limited. This would apply to any other homeworlds you capture as well.
It's also worth noting that if you had recycled a ship with Transwarp engines at the base, you could have built a new ship with them, even if the starbase didn't have tech 10 engines. If you have a Humanoid world and a Ghipsoldal world, this is a way to put good engines on tech 10 hulls.
If you are Premium at any point (say, you pay for just one month), you can raise the tech levels of all your starbases and they won't be reduced when your Premium status ends. However, I would encourage you to just pay the full price (it really isn't very expensive) to support the site if you're that invested in the game... |
