Just to say, this list has some errors. Some of the techs aren't meant to give anything (remember that research happens in PoN, you don't direct it). Some do, one example is that hospital ships generates a unit (a hospital ship that improves naval cohesion - in the same way that a land hospital does for your armies). So just because a tech doesn't lead to anything else doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Edit - this list is being seriously mis-understood. For example, the Dreadnought tech, as it should, puts Dreadnoughts in your force pool that you can build, so does the hospital ship. As above, not every tech in PoN leads to a new unit/option, some are there to slow the research process.
