After talking with S for a bit about this, hw1 having totally hidden tech is becoming a more apparent issue as games get closer and more glaring issues are being worked out.
As a remedy, it should be fairly straightforward to add lights to the ship to indicate certain tech.
Something that may be worth thinking about - hw1 is possibly at a disadvantage with this as hw2 races only show their tech on construction modules which they can potentially sell to hide the fact that they built a sneak frigate or something. Hw1 will display their frigate tech permanently.
