Just set the tech's requirement to IMPOSSIBLETECH (or any non-existent tech really). Note that it could still be stolen during an invasion or by espionage, though, or traded if you have tech trading turned on.

It will, but without having IMPOSSIBLETECH, noone will be able to research it. So you'll have to give it to them via raceconfig.

What I ment is that I put the requirement as IMPOSSIBLETECH and I could research it without making the race I was playing without starting with that tech. Any Ideals why?

That is strange, and it certainly shouldn't be that way.

Well, it does work in DA, but not in standard GC2...

start with IMPOSSIBLETECH so you can get it.

Why dont you simply make the tech cost VERY VERY HIGH.

And an AI value of 1 so the AI won't bother to get it and so you start with it and pulverize.
