When battles hinge on tech advances and we cannot trade, gift, or tribute tech or ships, what the hell can we do? Grrrr…

I didn't know it was happening to you guys, too. It happened to us one other time, too, when Alneyan was trying to pass ECM 1 to me. It took me 4 or 5 turns to get it. By that time, he gave me ECM 2. But after 6 turns, I had already built 3 complete sets of destroyers (that got their butt kicked later on).
So, what do we do about this? Keep playing and assume it messed up both teams? Start another game knowing about the "gifting" glitch and how to avoid it being a problem?
