Research tree problem?

from Stardock Forums
Hello!
Today I updated to 1.05.071 and then started the "June game of the month".
After a few years I bought "Zero Gravity Research" from an alien race(don´t remember who), which should enable "Brain Wave Mapping" and "Organic Piecing" as future research options.
Well, these two tech options didn´t show up for me...
Several years have passed now, I researched other techs, but this part of the tree seems to be dead. Oh, and those and further techs don´t show up in the diplomatic screens as well, which indicates that the aliens can´t research them, too.
Can anyone confirm or solve this?

Oh, and I´d like to add that noone demanded tribute from me. That´s nice, but seems very strange, because that never happened before, and I tend to be slow in my military buildup.

Man. No way I'm upgrading to 1.0.5 right now.

Yesterday/this morning I played a game on 1.05.71 and did quite a lot of tech trading, no problems of that sort. Anyone else seen it?

Maybe it´s because the save game is an earlier 1.05 version. Anyway, I started the June game again and will post what happens.

OK, forget it, I´m an idiot!
I just looked at Javascout´s research tree and found out that I missed to research Nano Frequency Electronics.

Just gotta hate those multi-branch research projects, right? :)

Personally, I don't mind meandering all over the tech tree and taking my time at every stop. Only on the smallest maps have I worried about a direct path, and then usually to a military rush. So take your time and meander over the tree. Unless you need an advanced ship or super tech right now, enjoy the ride. Besides, it is more tech to trade to the aliens later.
