I'd just like to be something other than a builder for once in 325 levels.

With CT Lab, RP has more potential now than just pseudo-mining.

I focus mainly on research. it takes around 2 day's to fill my tanks, but then agian, i ahve had crap luck on planet scans

Yeah, research is definitely a lot more useful now that bases are out. I actually just took another research planet, which I hadn't intended to do before, just so I could use it on the CT Lab. Of course, there is still a limit on its usefulness, because eventually you'll get everything in the lab, but it makes research a lot more viable now.

I imagine Dan will add new finds to the lab periodically as well, especially as people start leveling up bases.

The problem with the way the lab is set up though is taht he can add stuff to it indefinately, but it will become progressively harder for established bases to find newer tech because it keeps getting mroe expensive. Dan, if you're reading this, I really hope you have some kind of ceiling for research costs.

Yeah I thought about it too... if you got some discoveries early, then you will have a harder time finding any new ones that are added vs. a newer base. But, also theoretically you also have plenty of RP if you have done so.

im rank 141 and only have about 1900 research per hour seriously need more

you and me both brother

Rank 104 and get 1800 and really need research bad.

Even with your exotic and DYson ?

Personally have - Research per hour. I hit cap twice a day >.> , even with 2 research data archives bought from firends

I have one archieve and hit my cap once a day. And yes with my exotic and dyson how do you know i have em lol

I doubt he knew, he was probably just assuming.

Most Galaxy Point Buyers have em, im trying to get my exotic now. 3/10 though mission

Josh, what level planetary buildings are you using?...if 6 or below then at least put all your research into getting +8 buildings.
lvl 121 with a research of 2921 (and rising as recent conquests mature)

Rank 78, 592/hr. I'm quite behind on tech, but research is my strongest...
about 30/40/30.
a r m (arm, lol)

I am refocusing to
40/30/30
a r m
as I'm just finding artifacts more useful... it's just a pain that I'm behind on tech, as I'm a pker. I only have light quantum devastators (most people have heavy quantums, or singularity launchers) inertial cancelers (again, most seem to have phase shift engines) and nano-sphere platings (at least most people seem to have micro gels still. ) I have been struggling with pking for a while... I max in research once a day, artifact every 2 days and mining every 1 1/2 days.

Yea its +6 buildings, But i need energy worse am i right lol, im on X Conduit. Then i have to do Singularity Cannons the Hybrid Theory Dynamics THEN i will do Astro Binding and Gravshell. The back to Zero Point Energy. Although I am now 3 levels high and makeing 2089 which means

2089 x 24 = 50,136 Research per Day ( plus all these dont have hack or legion bonuses. and its not constant, this is just if i kept this production.)
Which also means...
50,136 x 7 = 350,952
Which in Turn mean!(more accurate if you multiply dayly by 30 and 31 depending on month.)
50,136 x 31 = 1,554,216
And it is still growing. I could finish many things in a month. Also means...
1,554,216 x 12 = 18,650,592 these calculations are always fun to figure. I can figure out how many research tiers i can do, such as finish Stasis Shields in 3 days.X Conduit in 1 day. Its just fun
