"t is impossible to buy all tech from neigbours without having something to sell back."

That is a key statement. If you wish to trade for techs you need something to offer.

That means:

a) you need lots of eccon to work on an unusual tech and trade it

b) you have something else such as minerals or ships or services that you may trade

You need to have a plan. You want lots of different things to trade so that if one isn't wanted you can switch to another. You need to be able to survive with weapons and/or const possibly at lower levels than your enemies.

If you dig through old web sites you may find reference to how 'all techs expensive was thought bad' till some expert of old proved otherwise in a game.

You are going to be paying over 3 times as much for weapons if you can't trade for it. This means you may be fighting Jihads with delta torps, Jugs with Jihads, etc. If in return you can have twice as many ships and know how to use them you may be ahead. If your factories cost less and you have an immunity to reduce terraforming, you may have more free resources than your neighbours (to devote to research or extra warships).
