BTW This makes me wonder...can units be analyzed for tech if on a ship that is Analyzed?

You cannot scrap (which is a synonym for analyze) a ship if it has cargo. And units alone cannot be analyzed. If you select a satellite group in a space yard sector, for example, only the 'scrap' option lights up. Analyze does not.

Neat ideas!

In going with the ancient race in the core and the splinter Groups outside, one way to avoid contact may be to have the core empire not make any expansion attempts until one of the splinter Groups encounters them. You could even surround the core empire with black holes/spatial distortions with weak warp holes to dissuade the splinter Groups from venturing in until their ships are strong enough to make the journey?

Just an idea.
