Well you share accumulated knowledge rather then a ray gun that they don't know how to build.

Although that doesn't make as much sense. If you have a weapon, you can give that to a person; it's a tangible item, whereas science points are a little harder to explain. You're not going to loan your science labs to your allies.

i think hero trait "adventurer" could have option to steal technology during battle. You choose proper battle card "stealing technology" which gaves minuses to offense /defense but allow weakest player to steal non known technology from stronger player :-). There no sense to use this by best players, because they have a lots of technology already knows. This will help to balance game for weakest players.

What you think about this?

I don't know about "stealing" technology. It would be pretty unbalanced. Maybe when you destroy another empire and wipe them out of the game, you get access to their technology, but that also sounds pretty unbalanced; if one player is about to lose, then it's all about who delivers the final blow.

I think the title should be, provide an option to disable technology trading in a multi player game.

Play with a friend, I mean. Or make a friend and play with them often.

If you build up a posse of people who you frequently play with, this stuff won't happen as often.

Like you said, it's kind of like legal cheating. It sucks, but it's not like they're hacking the game. Just play with people you trust?

I say about a situation when people make this kind of alliance before game starts.

You may never know about this alliance, because you will be destroyed fast.

for now i think is best to play everone with "eternal war" trait, but its pity not using diplomacy, trading, etc.

added:

.... or i think... Technology is the same much important like buldings in systems. Buildings cannot be trade, maybe shouldnt be allowed trading with technology as well.

Technology could be stealing from others. Its how it works in really world :-)

So, difference between "eternal war" and diplomacy could be only "trading routes".

Exchange of technology forbidden.

If people are doing that then find a partner and do the same. Or wipe out one of them.
