Hrm. I don't do well at tech trades (and versus hostile AIs, I'd rather steal them then trade over my infrastructure/colonization techs -- either via crew insurrection, or outright tech theft, etc), but since you got it to accept a ship deal, have you tried offering, say, the BB it just gave you, for a colony ship (once you find one)?

If you're lucky, it won't consider the true value of the technology on the ship... then all(!) you need to do is get the colony ship back to a shipyard, alive.
