I'm not getting the research points I think I should be....

Umber,


You right I meant system, but I 99.99999% positive you need a spaceport to send intel and research to your empire. If you research was equal to your home world production it would seem to bear that out. Suggest you save game, build a spaceport and see what happens. if it works continue. if not just restart the game.

You definitely do need a space port for research points to be "transported". I was recently playing a new game and setting up my first out-of-the-homesystem colony. It was a research center and I decided to see what happened if I left out the space port. The results were that none of the RPs generated in that system were added to the empiral total, until I went back and built that space port, of course!

I can only assume this applies to intelligence points as well.

Hmm, in my game, I was getting zero intel points. I quit the game and reloaded, and the numbers worked.

For research points, I have plenty to spare and not a spaceport in sight on my research planets. In fact, research faclities is about the only use I have for those one faclility planets.

True enough with 1 facilty planets. But to be getting the points means you simply have the spaceport on another planet in the system as you need only one per system. BTW, the manual such as it is, indicates that a spaceport is required to receive all resources including intell and research points.
