How to give resources? Locked teams...

I'm playing 2 vs 2, locked teams, and can't work out how to give resources to my ally.... the option to do so is greyed out, and the tooltip doesn't specify what I need to research... I've researched a bunch of stuff and it still won't let me dish out the dosh.

I must be missing something....

Your AI ally has to research the tech, which they seem to rarely do until late into the game. Honestly it should be patched so that it defaults to being able to demand and offer credits.

You need to research the new diplomacy tech to give resources to them.  It is usually around the 2-3 civilian lab level, as part of the chain that allows you to: offer missions, increase relations boosts through gifting credits, and offering missions to the pirates(this last one requires 4 labs for all the races, but is quite powerful-- especially to the TEC who have tons of credits to spare).
