Neural Combat Net

Gorgo · #1 November 16th, 2001, 01:10 AM

I have insurrected a few ships of another player that are featuring the Neural Combat Net. Just to be sure: If I analyze one of these ships, will I get the tech, or isn't it possible to get tech from ruins this way? Would be too bad to lose a dreadnought for nothing...

Thanks,

Gorgo

Sorry, you cannot acquire the unique ruins technologies through Analyze. In fact, you cannot even receive them as a gift or tribute. Keep the dreadnought

Really? This isn't logic IMO. I think all techs should can be gifted/traded/Analyzed (Can you steal it?). Even Racial techs. What do you think?

I think you should not do so.

Because there are Racial Boni you can t steal (ex. Propulsion Experts etc.).

If you can steal Org./Crystl. there has to be an option to steal all other boni as well.

Really? I have successfully traded a "Massive Shield Generator" tech I found to another player.

Actually, it was a neutral AI race, so I'm not sure if he actually received it or was able to use it. (But it did give me a mighty fine bargaining position to get his colonization tech.)

You can gift racial techs to other players, but unless thay have that racial ability they cannot make use of it.
In the case of ancient/ruins tech, everybody else will be unable to use it at all. Either thay have it, and are maxed out on the tech, or they don't have it, and can't get any levels at all.

You've been exploiting the AI.
