I'm not sure if its been noted before(I didn't know about it) but I just gained tech while losing a battle.
The battle involved 3 races, 2 fleets attacking my newly built spacedock. The dock managed to shoot down some enemy ships before getting pasted itself. I had no other ships present. I gained some tech.

BTW you were the _only_ one to have chance on tech. Nobody with ships in orbit would be able to learn from this battle ...
|
Eh? Really? I think one or both of the enemies could have gained tech...or is that completely false?
I have lost a battle with 2 MT lifeboats (an enemy and I met a MT at the same time), 1 got shot down, then the battle ran out of rounds, IIRC. Both me and my enemy got a tech out of the battle. Sounds like the same deal for the 3 way battle described. Only tech from the SB would not be gained. The other 2 enemies could learn from each others ships...if both had surviving ships.

I think they're saying its the presence of the planet with pop that restricts the tech gain chances - high tech scrap falls to the surface instead of floating in space to be recovered. This does raise the question however - if a battle occurs over my populated planet and I'm not involved(no ships or SB in orbit) do I have a chance(the only chance) to gain tech?

If the planet is uninhabitted, can anyone gain tech?
If the battle is in deep space and Player1 disengages after destroying a ship from Player2, can Player1 gain tech?
If a battle is at an uninhabitted planet and someone colonises it Waypoint 1, is he only one who can gain tech?
If after a battle at an inhabitted planet, the victor pop drop captures the planet, can he gain tech?

This woould be a typical wolf-lamb setup (except on a planet).

Shouldn't be a problem, right? I don't think battle orders are checked.

Battle happens before wp1 - it seems reasonable that the planet would not be colonized at that time.

He can certainly gain from the pop-drop, but probably not from the battle.
These are just guesses, but they seem consistent with Stars behavior.

I'm not sure. I remember a post where wolf lamb trading was attempted over a planet but no tech was gained. Maybe needs a testbed.
