RESEARCH DAILY AWARDS
I'm a rank 320 and I get 3k research for a daily reward. I produce 90,000 research in a day, so 3k is NOTHING compared to that. Make research scale up at the same rate credits do. I know levels 1,000+ get roughly 30+ billion credits for a daily reward. That should cover a couple days of ship maintainence (with all the very best modules equipped) no problem.
So either remove the research award and replace it with something more scalable or useful, OR 10x the research daily reward (and better rank scaling) similiar to how credit scaling was 20x increased.

Yes, both credits and research have their drawbacks (for all the things mentioned).
It would make much more sense, as some players have suggested, to issue an amount based on a % of the player's production quota for that area. (and in that sense, mineral units instead of credits)
I think 4-8 hours seems reasonable.

Well, we'll start with research at least. Credit rewards can be adjusted/decided later.

why bad idea? once you finish the first kronyn mission then you dont get em anymore. at least this way everyone can benefit from the research reward.

Could you add in artifact % one as well not to take from the other items just research and credits.

I vote on keeping the Daily Rewards as is. Besides what Dan said of course about scaling research by % of total......I forgot the rest.

I'm not Dan, but I have never heard of such a thing happening. If someone got a Dyson planet scan for their daily reward there would be a thread about it.

It is rumored (and possibly a myth) that planet information is returned on extremely rare occasions as a Daily Reward. The probability of this event is considered to be virtually zero for all intents and purposes.

OR... instead of having just research given as a daily reward, why not add the Star Chart Purger artifacts to the research reward?? I mean i would honestly take a little research with 5-7 Star Chart Purgers instead of just research. I think that would make it slightly more enticing to get the research daily reward.
Just a thought...
