I received MED in a game as a trade offer, but I can't receive it, my scientists don't understand it.
What do I need to hace first?

[Ruatha]

ok, didn't know that!

Important clarification: technology that is only found in ruins cannot be traded; i.e. the Unique techs.

I was not aware of that either. Intersting. I wonder if you gift them a ship with the MED onboard could they analyze it?

It's just when techs that can be researched are gifted or analyzed that analyzed works and gifted doesn't

speaking of MEDs, what is their point, arn't heavy mount ID V just as good?

[Phoenix-D]

You can't randomly get a heavy-mount IDV in the earlier game and you can't stick a heavy mount on a LC.

Other than that, yes.

For example, if I analyze a ship with armor, I do get the tech regardless whether I have Chemistry or not.

While I agree it does not seem to make much sence, I suspect it is for play ballence. That would be a Huge gift if it gave you the Tech tree as well as the Tech.

You get the tech, but you can't research it any further until you research Chemistry. I guess it doesn't make sense to get Chemistry from Armor.
