Summary0014295: Dispatch "Research Technology" not giving technology if discovered sooner than dispatch length
DescriptionWhen doing a "Research Technology" dispatch mission, if the technology is discovered by them before the mission is up, you do not get the technology.
I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it's confusing and frustrating as it is now, because there is no direct notification as to what happened.

I have attached a save in which the Skylaxian are apparently researching Quantum Computers. If you take a research dispatch mission for it, it terminates early and does not give the technology.

I thought this was especially annoying after I had spent a good 5k on scientists and was 20-30 months into the project.

I can see it being gamed if changed, by joining at the last minute and getting the tech for free.

So perhaps it's best if there's a little more transparency -- if a race is researching a tech, and the player wants to research a tech, maybe make it a red tech (unable to research, as research is already underway)?

Thanks!

* Fixed an issue where if a race discovered a technology before you were finished co-researching it with them, you would not get a copy of it.
