Dead Ends in Research

I've been looking though the lovely .pdf's over at http://webpages.charter.net/trevorpowdrell/, and I'm somewhat concerned about some of the dead end paths on the research tree, specifically "Photons" and "Improved Environment Control" I find such dead ends aethicallly displeasing, and I was wondering if we could make these techs a pre-requisite for some other techs. My suggestions would be to make Photons a pre-req for Shields (and the Star Hawk), and Improved Environment Control a pre-req for Terraforming.

IIRC, they are both requisites for non-research items.

Incidentally, making Improved Environment Control a prereq for Terraforming is nearly pointless, as all of it's requisites are already a good ways down the tree, and at least one of them on the same branch.
