I had used these rank points for energy. I switched races and went from 7060 energy to 7000 energy. I contacted Dan and his reply, to someone who has been playing the game for over a year, was, "Note that relays also reduce your total energy."

Seriously? That is your answer to the problem? Next you'll be telling me that some weapons can also reduce energy.

How about looking into why a race change would cause that to happen. Normally you are polite and helpful, but today...

Vygoid and Zolazin get double the Energy Bonus from the Q-Pedd Logic Servos that might of caused you to lose 40 energy after switching races

What race and profession was you before and after ?

Thank you very much! That is it exactly. I was Zolazin and then switched to Drannik. I did include that in my email to Dan.
