700 points is not enough if your a rank 200+

so how about a ratio for the research

ranks
200: 900

250: 1200

300: 1500

350: 1800

and so on

+1 agree completely 700 doesn't help much for those long-term research goals

oh yes please +1

Alien Data Disc (Uses Left: 4655)

You know how much research that would be for me at rank 1769??

-1 this will never happen. Why overpowered. The high ranks all made it just fine here and we didn't have NPC's for part of the time allowing us to make all these 17X Plasma worlds. We didn't have the caches either to give us the 8 hours production for a good chunk of our playing time either. Not to mention what you may or may not get from your bases. It is fine where it is now.

It already scales in the fact that you will get more, no need to make each unit give more.

Agree with last two posts.
What we do need is an easier way to use them.

This is. Either increase how much we get or add a freaking use x amount or buy x amount already.

Hey, you could finish our CT Lab!

I agree it should scale upwards, but not as high as it was originally suggested.

Rank 1-300: 700 RP

Rank 301-600: 1000 RP

Rank 601-900: 1300 RP

Rank 901+ 1500 RP

A second idea would be to add a new CT Lab item that uses them, maybe a Ship Module that "Allows your Scientists to work more effiently thereby increasing the amount of RP your ship produces" from the scientists onboard.

Advanced Science Lab: 100 Alien Data Disks, 50 Ship Bots, 50 Calming Amps. Increases research produced by your Scientists by 5%, Limit 4 per ship. Deck Size requirement open to debate.

Even that still is too much. Look at the amount mojo has. That change would give him over 90b extra.

And we don't need more ct lab modules that have limited uses. and that mod is op anyways at high ranks

I'm sure everyone who doesn't have $5000 to spend on building planets will find this idea concept somewhat beneficial to them and other people like them.

+1

you can make good planets at early ranks all you have to do is track down the Rogue LabPod

I've yet to spend money on this game, and I'm doing perfectly fine for research. Be smart about it, prioritize what you want, do surveys for gp, and do some NPCing, and you'll be fine.

At rank 294 I have 1m to go on +12 arti structures, then just Scan, Energy, and Syncos to go. And base research ofc, but... yeah. That'll be a while. lol

-1, fine where it is

+ 1 TO THIS

it is fine the way it is, although as suggested it would be beneficial to have a way to use multiple of them at a time!
