Ancient Ruins & Advanced Technology?

Upper Limit? I did recieve a 500K point colony tech.

No, I've gotten high level techs - stellar manipulation V, and all sorts of weapons. I've even gotten racial techs - organic and religious. Which only works if I took that trait. So, AFAIK, it's totally random.

Just remember if you get the message APB 1, that the game might have generated APB 1, APB 2 or APB 20.

It's just a joy when I get 3 techs from a ruin, I wish I could give my scientists a nice pay bonus when that happens. Trying to remember if I gottn more than 3, I think 5 happened a few patches ago, but not lately.
