Actually, if you put a tech in your research queue (doesn't matter if you've researched a single point on it or not), you won't find it in any ruins, but some other Tech.

So in your example, if you had 'Fighters' in your research queue, you wouldn't have gotten the Fighter tech.

(Of course, you could always get a terrible tech if you block what it should have been - that's why before you colonize some ruins, you should fill the 12 spots on your reserarch queue with all the Techs you don't want to discover...and you'll get another Tech )
