Also, I got Crystal Missiles Tech from Ruins, but it seems to be completely useless, since they never show up in component list. Since I don't have Crystal Tech I assume this is the problem, but I would think you shouldn't have Ruins Tech be unusable, IMO.

Weapons from specific race Techs (Crystalline, Temporal, etc) are only usable by those races with those techs. The way out is to design a "special Version" of that weapon that is linked to Ruins Tech - therefore, whoever finds that Ruin can use the tech. Look at the data files for Massive Shield Depleter, Massive Planetary Shield, etc, to see how that is done.
