Question concerning Gal Civ II campaign

2nd misssion research

Hi, I'm sure this is a real noobie question, but I recently bought Gal Civ II and decided to play through the campaign. I'm on the second mission and started researching space militarization: the game screen says I have three options (lasers,mass weapons and one other), however on the research tree only lasers are listed.I remember seeing the others on the demo,but for the life of me I can't find the other two. Is this a bug or simply the way the campaign is set up? Thanks

The three types of weapons are the Beam Weapons (Laser,Phasor,Disruptor...) Missile Weapons (Stinger, Harpoon Missile...) and the Mass Driver Weapons (Mini-Balls, Railgun...). It could be the mission. Sometimes, certain techs are restricted. BTW ,which campaign is it? Dread Lords or Dark Avater?It's Dread Lords-if I play in sandbox mode all the types are there-but you can clearly see two branches missing in this mission.Is there somewhere it lists which are available(for each mission)and which are not?I was concerned it might be a bug.

If you look at the tech tree in each mission, it's pretty simple to see which techs are available and which aren't (those that aren't will simply be missing!). But yeah, the tech tree is restricted to some degree throughout most of the campaign. No bug.
