Research Contract


Once you have performed enough research an option to turn your research directly into credits becomes available. This option will appear in a blue-outlined box at the bottom of the screen, and will inform you exactly how many CR you can receive for the research points you have around.

This option appears to become available at exactly 47,400,000 Research points spent on other areas of research.

The exact rate of exchange is 25,000 CR for 1 Research point.

This 1000 Research points will get you an offer of 25 Million CR. Here is an example text lifted from the game interface
