You might need to upgrade, but I highly doubt it.

"Game Parameters", to be exact.

Quick question: I found some compressed fuel storages in some ruins, so naturally, I disassembled them to get the tech points. However, I don't see the technology listed anywhere on my research screens as an option. Whereabouts might this technology be listed, or did the RP just vanish into thin air?

Edit: Another one. In my current game, I entered a system and found some aliens, who promptly vaporized my survey ship. After trying to communicate, my people eventually gave up and concluded that they were too alien to talk to. I just got a notification that they gave me trade rights. Is this a bug?

I believe you'll have to disassemble enough to 'research' it. I don't think it'll ever appear in the research screens, you'll just have to keep dissembling the fuel storage until the research points you get from doing so are enough to research the tech (don't ask the exact cost of the tech, I have no idea). Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

[RulerOfNothing]

You can't see it because compressed fuel tanks cannot be normally researched, but the research points from disassembly should show up if you look at all techs.

[Flying Dice]

The same should also apply to the initial tech for certain other things.

[LostCosmonaut]

It shows up in the list of all techs, but it doesn't show any indication that research points have been applied to it. Looks the same as all the other spoiler techs like plasma torpedoes.

[Ashery]

If I'm recalling correctly, the tech points only get applied to the body that the parts were disassembled on. Now, if you had disassembled them on Earth and still are having that issue, I've got no clue.

Pretty sure a failure to communicate doesn't force relations to remain hostile, it simply means that you'll be lacking the rather significant bonus that communication applies to relation improvement.

[Ehndras]

"...Too alien" usually means they're precursors, but sometimes you just get really bad luck with communication or your diplomacy skill really, really blows.

[Tarran]

I don't think things can get "too alien" just from being hostile, can they?

[LostCosmonaut]

Well, they didn't blow up my survey ship immediately upon entering their system, they actually waited a few days. After playing some more, they've decided to start giving me geosurvey data. Not sure yet whether I want to invade them or not. Just found the swarm too, so I have to deal with that.

How strange.

"Hey, an alien ship! Oh no! Let's wait a while to see what they do."

-A few days pass-

"Hey let's blow up that alien ship now!"

-Some more time passes-

"Hey remember those guys who we murdered for no reason? Let's send them geosurvey data on our moons! That will really confuse them."

[Ashery]

Pretty sure that your presence in a system that they control reduces your DR ever so slightly. That reduction could've been enough to trigger a hostile action despite ongoing diplomacy.

You are correct sir. Well, at least for Neutral or Enemy empires.

During the 5-day increment, NPRs will deduct points for any alien ships they detect on active sensors in systems in which they have a population. The deduction is equal to 10% of contact size. So a 5000 ton ship (size 100) would cause an instant 10 point deduction. For the purposes of this rule, they will ignore freighters if a trade treaty is in effect and they will ignore ships from Empires they class as Friendly or Allied.

[Flying Dice]

So wait, there are people who have broken out of the habit of automatically stomping everything that isn't theirs? Because I still do that, if only because it is easier to wipe a population than work around them...
