No, I don't think thats what he meant. A possible example would be on
the turn following the transfer of MAT to another player your tech
research is increased by an amount equal to the tonnage given, or times
five the tonnage given in CAP, or times ten the tonnage given in COL;
divided up amongst the techs you are researching proportionate to the
difference in reasearch spent. IE, 1000 in cargo, 1500 in drive research
bonuses would be divided 40/60 between the two. I'm not condoning this
idea. Just thinking out loud; but I will admit it is an interesting
proposal.
