Or perhaps depending on how far ahead the tech was from a captured ship compared with youre current level of tech the higher it is the lower the % value that you can get something from anaysising it and perhaps would have to use intel instead to get advanced tech

Ie i have level 1 cloak and yu capture a ship with level 2 cloak - anaysis success chance 80%
level 3 cloak - anasysis success chance 60%
level 4 cloak - " 40%
level 5 cloak - 20%

Somethign along those lines - well its all brainstorming so keep ideas coming.

But yes being able to stipulate at the beginning of the game the tech areas that are anaysisable from captured or gifted ships should be an idea.
