Imagine being able to inspect and study the remains of captured ships of higher tech to get a small buff to the research of that tech

Like, the larger the ship and closer level tech would give a larger bonus to that tech,

for example a 2k 1 tech level higher ship it would give a good ~25% research bonus to 1 of the techs onboard the ship you don't have.

Example 2: You capture a ship with gatling guns, you dismantle the ship for study, you get 25% of machining tech learned, downside you only get the bonus for one of the techs onboard.

I think capturing is a much better way to do this so it's less snowbally

maybe if a ship survives half intact after a battle you can salvage 10-15 % of the tech, but if you capture the ship through boarding, you get like 25-30%

Yeah but the problem is that'd mean you'd basically instantly unlock the tech tree if you win a big battle imo it should not be caused by anything less then boarding

maybe you can only salvage one tech pure battle

I think boarding only and 10% max would be good. This would be way too cheezy otherwise cuz then whats the point of focusing research if you can just steal it
