Varying Weapons Accuracy

I don't think this works, either, in SE4. In SE3, yes, they'd give you points per level, because SE3 had a more detailed and controllable research system (...). In SE4, it always looked to me like a tech gift clears any progress you had built up in that tech area, which more or less makes sense.

If you have 3k points in, say, Shields 1, and someone gives it to you (or you analyze a ship, or find it in Ruins), then you get those 3k points credited to Shields 2. They are not lost. They are only lost if you get the Last level in a tech area.
