Missing Stinger Missiles

Every Stinger Missile research level after the first (2 through 4) doesn't give you anything. Maybe there's supposed to be 3 'gateway' techs in a row that don't give you anything, but based on the text when you finish the research (talking about the missiles getting smaller, etc.) it seems that those techs should be giving me a smaller version of the Stinger. Other, similar, research techs do give you a new component at each level. Is this the way these reseach projects are supposed to work, or should they be giving me something?

Sorry if this was posted elsewhere, I couldn't find it.

You should get Stinger II, Stinger III, Stinger IV, etc. They do the same damage as Stinger, but are smaller (and should cost more).

That is correct. Many of the weapons, defense, and enginge techs work the same. There are several versions which are just smaller versions of the previous version, allowing you to put more stuff on a ship.
