Id like to buy some Research Points but tbh paying 15 GP for just 1k RP seems a little high considering i get 3k+ RP/h.

I was wondering if it would be possible to change this buy allowing people to buy say an hour or 2 hours worth of RP going by how much they make per hour (while keeping the price the same)?

But for people that make less than 1k RP/h still allow them to buy the 1k.

Not sure if this would be possible or even if people will think its a good idea but i thought id be as well putting my thoughts out there in the hope that they will be considered :P

Thanks

Dude there is no need to waste Gp's just to by research.. but since you indicate that ppl need it they better of to purchase good research planets or make them instead of wasting their GP's on none sense..

I am 100% for this idea. If people can buy terraformers and QSE's to make the mission planets, why should they not be able to pay directly for research? A mission dyson can easily produce 3K/hour of any resource. It could be adjusted to be like the daily reward and paying for 4 hours of research.

It seems changing it to 4 hours of rp more reasonable

Buying research is definitely one thing you don't want to be doing, but if you insist then I'd say yeah it does need to be increased to x amount of hourly production.

The big reason everyone says buying research is a horrid idea us because it gives so little. But lets say for example you got 1m res for every gp spent. How many would buy then? crazy example I know, but its just to show there is a point where it would be worth it.

Yeah but by that point you'll be getting so much research an hour anyway that it's not worth it if that makes sense.
