				 Re: why can\'t you trade specific techs? 
 
	Yeah, I don't think this actually does what you think it does. I am pretty sure that analyzing tech acts just the same as trading it. For example if you gift a ship with a level 5 PDC on it, the player only gets one level of PDC, not level 5 in PDC. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure about that. I believe they get one level of the tech per component on the ship.Quote:

Then when they analyze the ship at a shipyard, they can only get tech levels that are on the ship. This is not a very cost effective method of trading. You can loan them an orbital shipyard so they can analyze the ship immediately at your base. You can even build a no engine ship to accomplish this feat.
