I've had the Iconians do this to me several times now (one reason why my auto-save is every other turn, so I can reload prior to such things): they gift me a specialized tech - which, while nice of them, is *not* one that I wanted & now I'm stuck with it. Can there be an option to refuse the gift or some other mechanism to deal with this? I'm "fine" with the lock-in on specializations (I'd prefer them to be gone, but get it from a balance-perspective & makes me consider my choices carefully.)
Thank you!
