Ruin Technologies

I thought you would be able to trade technology you found in ruins. The tech area of Neural Networks, Massive Shield/Engine Depleters and Massive Shield Generation. Well I took control of another race and used them to give me a gift of those tech areas, but when I got them, the report said they were useless to my race because my researches didn't understand it. Is this a bug? Thanks

No, it's not a bug. You can only trade in technologies that your researchers would be able to understand if you were researching them yourself. Eg, if you don't have the required base technologies for shields (physics), then you cannot receive shield tech from another race and use it.

You can build a ship with the technology and give it to someone else.
