I encourage any and all factions to attempt to 'advance' in terms of technology, and to develop counters to your opponent. Military science is often as a game of chess, but with many more players.

Well, I will do science if/when I can. As was just explained it's a bit hard against the Aviary, and there aren't really Tyranid available to experiment on at the moment (since the ones from the previous battle received several doses of nuclear weapons) That sort of thing tends to skew your test results a bit.
