Beedee, I understand what you mean about the ancient galaxy, though I'm not entirely convinced yet. Let's see what the others have to say about it.

Newsflash: there *are* ruins in the Spiralus game, even though I pre-generated the map.
There are about 20 planets with ruins, although for some reason almost all of them are scattered around the southern half of the galaxy.
I don't go for the unique tech in ruins, I never us it. But I do like the occasional find, if you are real lucky you'll get colonisation tech or something else that's both expensive and useful. Although I usually get tech that is medium-expensive but that I would not normally research, such as Satellites II. Still, it's nice to have slightly better sats, or troops, or resource extraction.
