Technology Costs Rescaled ESC/ACOT

Small mod that rescales tech costs to be more in line with how your research progresses in game, so that you aren't researching T5 techs in a few months by 2300 anymore.

Has support for extra tech tiers from Extra Ship Components and Ancient Cache of Technologies.
