Looking for the door...
And the immediate answer from d7...
"I got my numbers from a table we have in our internal forum, but that may be slightly wrong; I really don't care about plus or minus ten beakers.

Regarding reduced tech costs if the Knights have something before one of us can research it: The amount that a tech gets cheaper should simply be shared beween us, maybe the party that researched it keeps 50% of the savings and sends 25% each to the others (as a small compensation for the loss of the chance for an SGL).
To stick with justanicks example: Instead of 500 beakers you would spend 475 + 5 beakers (or maybe +2 or +3 or whatever). So of the 20 saved gold pieces you'd keep 10 for yourself and give 5 to the partners."
