The first few levels will benefit everyone, but they get expensive very quickly and only the large players will be able to afford them.
But a good update that will help a lot.

Well if your unascended the techs are cheap, they go up in price with times ascended, and if your an LG+1 you should beable to afford them, even if its 1 a week, the only ones getting hurt are the power ascenders who have no account to sustain an income.

10 bill for first level.

I haven't got lvl 9 or 10 yet, so im unsure if they take a jump off the calc but im guessing the first is base rate, then its pretty much like covert and doubles each time, im an LG+2

erm... let me qualify my statement. the update is useful to players who've decided to stop ascending and to big players with big income.
for new players who are trying to ascend as fast as they can, the MS tech upgrades are very expensive since they are gonna reset to 0 everytime they ascend.
conclusion: good update for established accounts, expensive and almost useless update for new accounts.

After looking at your posted numbers GeneralChaos, I am pretty confident the numbers just double each upgrade.
Rather costly, and sad to see that ascended people have a slightly different rate over non-ascended. Oh wellll! Suppose it puts our income bonus to use

Unascend techs = very cheap , total cost of all 10 is 2,556,000,000,000
Ascended techs = expensive , total cost of all 10 is 25,560,000,000,000
Thats all your getting off me

, Only my Alliance will be given the cost of each level,

But yes they do reset to 0 each ascension, so if your going to ascend dont go overboard on them, getting to say level 5/6 is pretty cheap.
No admin took out the cost of it being more expensive for the higher ascended beings, the costs are those up there for all ascended no matter what type, not sure if Daimon is different, shouldnt be,

Not like its hard to figure out how much each lvl will cost lol
And im still going with good update, it adds a little extra spending strategy to MS.

I like it...
But since I didn't see a topic about new MS massing, I have to post it here.
Massing a mothership became totally useless now.
It became slow and boring...people mass with 1 AT the MS, now it became useless as it does almost no damages. Thought all updates would be good..Apparently no. That hidden one (yes, in beta testing it wasn't like that, we weren't told about it before the day of updates) appeared out of nowhere.

anyone one has any ideea what the ratios for MS battle are now?
ie say 100b MS using 1 AT kills how much vs equal defence
same if using 15 AT...
this wasnt in beta ... so much for testing it there.
