That wasn't quite what I meant. I didn't mean jumping your current level - I meant making a component available that would boost your current tech / components. For instance (using the Cloaking example), there is not a Cloak Level 5 device. If you found the ruin, you could put a Cloak Level 4 and the 'enhancing component' to get you to level 5. IOW, you could NOT get there by normal tech research, ONLY by getting the ruins. That's the way the MSD's and Planetary Shields are now....
Another ruin could possibly give you enhanced engines that use fewer supplies, etc.
