In my current game, I have three of the unique techs (Massive Shield Damaging Weapons, Massive Planetary Shielding, and the Neural Net tech). The only one I've really used so far is the shield damaging weapon (one shot per combat, but it does 1000 points of shield damage!). I had a planetary shield facility on one planet for a while because an "ally" colonized the planet's moon. I got rid of the facility after destroying the "ally" (never break a treaty with the Moebius Consortium! like certain other organizations, the only way to leave is in a body bag (figuratively speaking)).
