So in my game, playing multiple races on earth, I get this message:
ESA - Research Completed - N/A - Information on Replacement Batallion has been provided to us by NASA
Ok... so here's where the confusion arises: Although the ESA is friendly with NASA, we have no tech treaty, or anything I'm aware of that would make them give me that (I'm playing both races, neither are NPC and I don't know how to give techs (outside of SM) anyway). Ok, so maybe they were feeling generous (or "provided to us" is a euphemism). But NASA haven't got Replacement Battalion tech yet. I'm confused as to not only why, but how a race gives me a tech that it hasn't researched and doesn't have available to it yet, especially when I am that race.
Am I missing something obvious?
