Currently, there are no ship modules that affect ship's RP output and there is no relevant technology branch. I understand this would be a big change, but we should consider that if the RP output is to be a sterling ship attribute (like energy for example) it would need research systems.

Cheers!

I think the reason there isn't research modules is because research is finite. Ores can be sold for cash, artifacts used up for various reasons, but research hits a point and stops having a use until more techs are put in place. If research had a consumable aspect, then I could see putting in a module for it, such as adding research itself into the cost of installing a weapon, or using research points as part of a quest attribute etc.

Not saying they won't add a module, just saying that I can see why they haven't yet.

Technically there *is*, but not in the way you are describing. Your research in "Planetary Construction" unlocks more powerful research structures, which in turn will generate more research.

And yes, there *is* an end to the tree - but I will make sure it takes a very very long time. :)

Plus uncovering an item is one thing. Actually having the cash and minerals to use it is another. I researched the wideband scanner mark 3 and its like 100k+ with a bunch of Hydium as the cost and since I just bought a planet im totally broke. So its kinda a balancing act.
