Does anyone risk doing this?

Yup.

Did it once with a rad immune SD, had TT and bio/con cheap (won the game, not especiallly thanks to the race combo, just lucky not all players joined against me).

I notice that everyone in my games tends to have weapons expensive. Trading for weapons tech sounds like it would be really easy. Also, as WM I started with high weapons, and haven't really gotten a benefit from taking weapons cheap so far.

Most people have indeed weap cheap. You can risk it and hope to find a good ally, helps is you have something to offer in return ...

Plus it's stressful to worry about people stealing tech off your new designs.

I would not worry about that too much. Some things to keep in mind:
- don't use high tech on easy to kill ships of which you'll build a lot, that mainly comes down to sweepers and MMLs (SD). So don't use the weap23 gatling on your *expandable!* DD sweepers if your enemy still has weap16. Wink

Or prop16 rams on your MMLs when your enemy obviously has no rams and stopped prop research at prop12. (hi AE!) Wink

- when going into battle make sure you kill ALL his ships. If nothing survives of him he can't steal tech. Though if you lose (high tech) ships in orbit of a planet of his he'll get a chance anyway.
