What techs do I have to research to get the needlejet? I have the trial version so I need to get it within, say, 75 years.

A few important ones: doctine flexibility, synthetic fossil fuels, gene splicing, ethical calculus, high energy chemistry,

K, so to get docturne: flex U heve to research docturne: mobility. after docturne: flex the help file says u'll have docturne: air power available to research. but it isn't. I haven't been playing AC for long so I don't know how 2 get most of the techs u mention. A list would help...

I don't know if the demo has the full help system, but if you look up a particular tech, you can see the prerequisite techs, and by clicking on them, work your way back.
Sometimes, when you have the prerequisites, you still can't research the one you want immediately, but it should come up next time around.

I think the demo has full help and you can see the requirements for a certain tech. This is what it tells you to research:
Docturne: Mobility
Docturne: Flexibility
Docturne: Air Power
But after I've done the first two it doesn't let me do the third. So I get Plasma Steel & Particle Impactor and so on but it never lets me build it .

Doctrine Flexibility is one of the techs you need to get doctrine air power. The help will say it leads to doctine air power, but you need the other tech first. The other tech for air power is synthetic fossil fuels.
Let me try to get these somewhat in order since I have the chart here. Sometimes you will not get the option to research a particular tech so you have to be patient.
Applied Physics, Industral Base, Biogenetics, Social Pysch, Doctine Mobility, Doctrine Flexibility, Ethical Calculus, High Energy Chemistry, Gene Splicing, Synthetic Fossil Fuels, then Doctrine Air Power.

Thanks! I thought you could take either route!!! I'll remember that for next time I want to see what I need for whatever.
