Re: Unique ruins techs
A possible solution to Ruins Tech:
Make them the "seed" for a new tech tree. This allows them to be improved upon.
My mod (in testing) allows weapons with a better rate of fire, and a few other options. examples:

.... and so on.
I think this works with the ideas about cloaking - add Massive Cloak tech, but the tech items require both the ruins tech AND regular cloaking tech.
I will be thinking soon about new ruins techs, with the goal of creating mega-rare crossover ultra-techs. (facilities and components which require 2 ruins techs to create...!) I certainly want to create ultra-tech which helps counter or replicate racial unique abilities... more ideas liek the super-cloak, which only have any function when used in conjucntion with regular tech.. and more.
UNTESTED : Haven't tried transferring the ultratechs to another race : logically they would not be able to understand them though.
