Stealing Swarm Techs from NPRs 1.9.5
« on: June 01, 2020, 09:07:28 PM »
Hi, I was able to steal (through ELINT module) a tech "Swarm Extraction Module" from a normal NPR, and I believe this should be considered a bug, since NPRs shouldn't possess such a tech in the first place. 

I write it as a separate thread, since I am playing 1. 9. 5 and I am not able to reproduce in any newer version.  I looked through the old bug threads, but cannot find anything relevant. 

I attach my DB, it is just immediately after I have stolen the tech.

This definitely sounds like a bug.

Based on my tests on ELINT intel gathering, the techs I was able to acquire are the ones they (another player empire) have but I don't. So the bug could be in the initial tech generation for the NPR, where it accidentally get the Swarm tech.

Thus reproducing the exact issue could be very difficult due to the RNG involved in the process...
