I think there are some technologies that you get for free as a starting faction.

How do we handle these?

I liked the solution Stuiter used for this.
She added this in her turn report:
Research on Echani Reverse Engineering + 0-> COMPLETE (0 /0) (free Union tech)
Research on Echani Hyperspace Signature Damping + 0-> COMPLETE (0 /0) (free Union tech)

Well, you don't get them for free as a starting faction. You get them for free from the Union. See the Union Technology Registry.

On a side note: Please note on your bookkeeping page any technologies you acquire. This includes technologies you acquire from the Union. (See Veolian Commonwealth (Bookkeeping) for an example.) If you didn't note a tech on your bookkeeping, you don't yet have them -- and if you can't communicate with Unity for any reason, you can't acquire the free techs until you can again communicate.


EDIT: (Chriz was a tad faster) I liked that approach as well. It leaves a clear trail of evidence.

Thanks. I know what to do next turn report now!
