Project Tech Tracking Form

[broadsides]

Greetings to all,

  During my game play I started out making notes to keep track of my current Tech development.  This has slowly evolved to the point it is now a three page check-box style 'cheat sheet' that I have decided to post for any who may find the concept useful.  It is rather basic (hand drawn on grid paper) and with a few exceptions try to follows a left hand description/right hand check box format.  Please feel free to help correct/improve the design (if you are interested) to achieve the best design possible.  Translation (if possible) into a program/spreadsheet would help printing copies and may reduce size. Most of the sections focus on the game effects over the real world descriptions unless the description makes clear the tech improvement, example: There are twenty-one '-1% weight Savings, check boxes for various advancements I have grouped together in 'Machinery development'  but sixteen single check boxes and two 4x check boxes in 'Ship Design' .

   I hope this may be useful to some and welcome your feedback.

       Thank you.

Better yet, you could copy'n'paste from RtW2 Wiki - Technology into a spreadsheat ... might save a lot of typing 

Then make a PDF "form" from it, where the user could click in the little crosses or ticks.

 Thanks, and I tried that and I believe I spent just as much time arranging/deleting cells as typing.  That may just be because I am a spreadsheet noob.  Photoshop is more my strength and I am considering a PS version as my next attempt.  This thread was mostly intended to get better ideas or discover a better way/ someone already had something better.
