I would like to throw the idea out there. Basically, the idea behind this is if you intel steal an enemy ship, doesnt matter what kind, you can have the option to reverse engineer it. Say, if you are on level 6 across the board, and you steal a ship with level 7 requirements, you can maybe click a button to reverse engineer it. Now, this completely destroys the ship, but if the process is successful (or partially successfull as a matter of %age) you can either select a tech field to bump to level 7 (biotech, energy, etc) OR choose to be able to build that specific ship for your empire to use. Of course, you could just use the ship as it is as well. Also, it should cost some credits to put into process of reverse engineering. Maybe 500 credits for a Fast attack, 1000 for a Cruiser, 1500 for a Command, and 2000+ credits for an Outpost or Starbase (see previous idea about comandeering starbases during/before battle in this forum) Just a thought for you guys, looking forward to seeing the game finished  Good luck. Feedback always appreciated

That is a interesting idea. I am sure there will be strong opinions that some will relish in fighting over. Still it is interesting and may lead us somewhere.  _________________

This was always a gap in the Star Trek Story line. Why weren't there more Federation scientific breakthroughs based on what they learned from equipment captured from other races?

I guess one obvious example is Voyager...

Hehe. Matress already had this in as a random event. Actually he has two of them.  Quote: Advanced Starship Discovered (Large increase in all areas of research)
An advanced starship was discovered in an asteroid field. The origins of the craft, how long it has been there, or even why it was lost in the middle of the dead asteroid field are unknown. We have handed over the vessel to our researchers, who say that the technology on board could lead to major breakthroughs in our research efforts.
Qapla! We have captured an advanced starship in sector _____. It was adrift in an Asteroid field, but we know nothing else about it. Our yej'an will surely be able to make some use of it. If not, it will make excellent target practice!
An advanced starship of unknown origin was discovered in sector _____. The Tal’Shiar have sent our most trusted scientists to examine the vessel. They speculate that the technology aboard the ship may be of great use in furthering our own research projects, and the vessel has now been moved to a secure location for further examination.
An advanced starship has been discovered adrift in sector _____. Traders there have been rumouring about the presence of an unknown vessel for years, but now the rumours have been confirmed. The vessel is of unknown origin, and our scientists have been sent in to thoroughly examine it. They say that its systems will greatly enhance our understanding in all current areas of research - and may even open up whole new fields.
The Founders must be pleased! An advanced starship that could only have been placed by them was found in sector _____. This starship contains technologies far beyond anything we know. Our scientists are studying this vessel to get the most out of it. Truly blessed are the Founders. Quote: Advanced Starship Captured (Small increase in all areas of research, large increase in diplomatic ties with another random Empire)
A survey ship detected an experimental _____ craft adrift in space. The Empires government has been informed and they were grateful for the return of their craft. Relations with the _____ Empire have considerably improved. The surveyor also conducted discreet scans of the craft. The scans will help advance our future research efforts, and help in the development of new defences against their technologies.
A Scout vessel detected an experimental ship adrift in sector _____. Against the will of many young Klingons who would have sooner destroyed it, we have handed it back to the Empire who constructed it. Of course, our yej'an made detailed scans of it, providing us with specifications of future possible enemy designs for years to come! What a glorious day for the Empire!
A cloaked intelligence vessel discovered an advanced prototype vessel in sector _____. The vessel was thoroughly scanned, and copies of the records were given to both our researchers and the Tal'Shiar. We then had the foresight to return the vessel to its respective Empire, which was grateful for its' return. The scans of the vessel will help the Tal’Shiar and the Imperial Navy develop defences against the new technologies employed in the vessels' design, and the diplomatic overtures will lull our enemies into a renewed false sense of security.
A scout vessel encountered an advanced prototype starship in sector _____. The vessel was scanned, and then returned to the Empire it belongs to. They were pleased to have the vessel back, and diplomatic relations have improved as a result. The scans taken of the vessel will most certainly increase our scientist’s efforts in their fields of research, and the improved relations will make things easier for our undercover operatives.
A warship stumbled across an experimental vessel of the _____. After thoroughly searching the vessel and conducting research on the components, we sent it back to the _____, as a show of our good will. The fools seem impressed by this decision. _________________"Anyone without a sense of humour is truly at the mercy of the rest of us."

Nicely written. Steal that technology...
