How to "analyze" a captured/traded ship and get technology?

[Bowden Russell]

Okay, how do I get the technology from that new ship I just trade for 3 cheap FG's?

Also, how do I get cloaking technology?

Get it to a spaceyard (or get a spaceyard to the ship) and hit that green recycle button you use to retrofit or scrap ships. Then select the ship and IO and behold there you have the analyze command. Try this with stolen ships - that's funnest!

Cloaking tech is available with several levels of Physics research. There's also a minor but often highly effective form of cloaking available with the Stealth Armour which lies down the Armour path, which in turn is opened up by researching Chemistry.

As stated below. I did not know about this feature until I read it here. Man I think of all the ships I have captured with advance tech. Oh well, at least I know now. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif
