Akdarian story "Crashed Research Station" gives you 2 choices: Salvage, which gives you Hyperdrive Research 75%, Aculon, and Polymer.

And Study, which gives you... 3 races to gain diplomacy, and a hyperdive lab that I can not find.

Bug or WAD? I know a different story event (Ruined Shipyard) either gives you a boost to multi role cruisers and a stockpile of hexadorium and Aculon, OR construction research +10% and a mineable source of hexadorium and aculon, according to my notes.

After save included

Do you happen to have a save from just before you encountered the event?

just before? no I was not doing the "save before choosing to investigate ruins" I sometimes do. I have one in between the choice for study and the resolution (Ambassador1) and one from a bit before (finished a mission that got me a science academy) ScienceAcademyBuilt.

Unfortunately, that will have limited value in pinning the issue down.

If you see this occur again, please send us a save from just before you encounter the event.

Looks like there's an issue with this event. The Study choice should be placing a new ruin on the planet that grants a Hyperdrive Research bonus.

We'll investigate.
