Captured ships that retire at the nearest space port retire as normal, but do not confer a tech bonus. Tested with 3 pirate ships (2 escort, one explorer) as a pre-warp empire, and moments later with a found ancient capital ship. Curiously, the unharmed ship you discover at the start of the game conveyed a bonus as per usual. I'll upload a save shortly.

I have also noticed that after the patch later in the game i do not receive any tech bonus from ships with advanced technology.

Seems the fix for ships that weren't supposed to give tech "fixed" ships that are supposed to give tech.
Noticing the same. I get the research bonus while repairing derelicts, but the last 3 I scrapped gave no tech.

A few quick tests indicate that the tech bonus is back, so thanks :)

I noticed that the tech gain has been reduced; instead of gaining a new tech from the ship, I am receiving a bonus equal to 50% of the tech cost. It's probably better this way

Edit: although...I was only testing as a prewarp empire with pirate ships. If the amount of research gained just happened to be equal to half my tier 1 tech cost (ie you always get 120K research towards a random tech on the ship), then past pre warp that will be a very tiny bonus indeed.

Double edit: I loaded up a later game. Tech rewards do scale as before.
