The design of the game was such that this is one of the things that we don¹t
let you know too exactly:

Do I build a new fleet now, or do I wait because next turn my tech will go
up?

Of course, you can get some idea of this by watching the graph, as, assuming
your income is relatively constant and your spending percentages don¹t
change much, it will be about the same amount of time from one tech change
to the next.
