Re: How exactly does analysing tech work?
If you analyze a ship with components that require technology that you do not possess, then you get 1 level in the tech area of those components. But, you can only get 1 level in each tech area from a single ship. If a ship has components that require tech area levels that you already have, you don't get anything. So, if a ship has 2 Shield Generator Vs and you have no shields, analyzing it gives you 1 level in Shields, not 2. If you have Shields 5 or higher, you get absolutely nothing out of analyzing the ship.
However, there is a bug with carrier analysis. If you analyze a Light Carrier with Fighter Bay Is, you get 2 levels of Fighters (assuming you don't have any to begin with).
