What, have a legion full of rank 100's with Thetacron Cannons?

It might not have surface appeal, but it does have possibilities if worked right.

For example, you can only get research points worth 50% of your rank, one time a day, from one ship. Could also cost a tariff to the ship sending if need be, but the end result would still end up being a very small amount of rp being transferred, and most likely only used when a ship is a few points short of finishing a tier and looking for that extra bump.

Not the most useful thing in the world, but far from game breaking, and easily created to prevent multi abuse or high rank players power leveling low rank ships research.

I personally don't see the need, but I see no reason it shouldn't exist, so I'm not gonna + or - on this one. Just pointing out the practicality of it

why not just make the alien data Disk's trade-able? This way its not like I can give out my 50K an hour research and make a ton of guys grow but I would have to find all the Disks and give them out if need be. Sure if some really high rank that gets 15 of these a day has a multi that he gives them to it could be over powering but there is not many players out there that can do that.

The cap would have to be low, like 1k. With 50 multis that's 50k/day, which is only around 2k/hour. About average for a rank 100. Still overpowered, but not too bad...
