Re: Multiple tech levels from one ship?

That's pretty much exactly what SJ said when he mentioned "medium carrier with Fighter Bay 3's" giving you 2 tech levels.
Of course, analyzing a light carrier and Fighter Bay 1's (both Fighter level 1 techs) probably shouldn't give you Fighters level 1 & 2; if they do, you might want to notify Aaron...
BTW - if you analyze a ship with a cloaking device, you can get tech levels in cloaking, even if you haven't researched Physics 3 (or whatever the applied science for unlocking the cloaking tech is). Same for other techs with prerequisites; you can't perform further research on your own until you research the prerequisite, though. IIRC, that was the basis of SJ's trick to make racial techs analyzable in one of his mods...
