How is PPP (Puppet Political Parties) Supposed to Work?

No. If your opponent surrenders, you do not get his tech. Only what you can analyze from any ships he has..

Really? Even if that is true for human players (which I don't know if it is or not), keep in mind this is not a human opponent, but now an independent AI neutral race.

The 2 times during this current game that a neutral AI race surrendered to me, I got all their tech.
(Or at least, I got 1 level of each tech that he had higher than me. ie, I had mineral mining level 1, he had level 3. When he surrendered to me, I gained level 2.)

So the question really is, does a planet that secedes through PPP maintain the same technical knowledge level as the original race?
