Is the article in error then? Here's a quote from it:

Quote:

Whether your allie wins or losses the battle with your enemy; if your ship survives (and it usually does...low priority target). You get a 50% chance of getting tec. You do nothing but "BE THERE". Your allie , if he wins gets a 50% chance of getting tec, not nessacarily the same tec; but you get a chance at tec whether he wins or not , just by being there.

(spelling left as in the article, emphasis mine)

In the article, your ally is fighting a high-tech enemy ship, and whether he wins and gets tech or not, you always have a chance of getting tech.

In my proposed scenario, the ally (of the three-man alliance) who gets the lifeboats (or probes or scouts) plays the role of the "enemy". He receives no tech from the setup. Another ally plays the role of the "ally" in the article, by sending chaff-like ships to battle the Lifeboat, which is set to attack armed ships only. The third ally plays the role of "you" in the article, sending an unarmed ship (or an armed one with low priority, depending on what's needed to get it in the battle) to watch the battle. It is the third ally who receives tech/toys.

If I understand the article correctly, and it is not in error, then you could have the lifeboat constantly win the battle, and the third member of the alliance (the one just "watching") constantly receive tech. If you get 3 lifeboats (which as I understand it is likely if that's what the MT is giving out and you give it 9800kT of minerals), then you could give two to your allies and set it up so that each ally is on the receiving end at one location.
