no, but that sure sounds interesting. as long as they keep your ship alive, you might get to share in any victory conditions. any chance of hearing the long story?

i dont know how they could gift anything to you (such as a colony ship) without you having a planet to establish communications with. any chance you have boarding parties or allegiance subverters on that ship?

case in point, i had a ship teleported across the map and it met an alien race. it could not make contact though, because we did not have a path established between our planets. fortueneatly, i had allegance subverters on that ship, and it took over a colony ship, built a colony and i established a presense in that area of space. alliances were made, wars faught, fleets constructed, and eventually i was able to connect that area with the rest of my empire.
