Correct ... I said so before ... I said I dislike that state of affairs ... and no one else cared Glad to hear from you on this subject Ed.

On PBW, someone tried to gift me some tech, like shields or beam weapons. I accepted and got nothing, cause I don't have Physics 1.

My gift was repair bays. And I'm sure they got it.

So I've researched constrution, then fighters. Can I gift fighters? ... sure you say, just have to gift construction first, giving them a quicker route to mines and troops. Thanks a bunch, MM.

Oh who am I kidding, if they'd given me Physics 1 first, I'd have waited until I was 0.1 away from it myself to accept, to make Physics 2 appear faster and then get PPB before everyone else.
