500 versus 150 for a Solar Collector 3 sounds like they are worthwhile. Same KT of space. Sure it takes a lot of research, but eventually someone will want that Tech and go for it. Consider living the whole game with SC III and Supply storage if you think they are not worth it.

It may sound worthwhile, but it really is not. The only reason to ever bother researching them is to do something with your research points after you have finished everything else. The component does not justify the high cost of research (esp. since there is nothing else of any practical use in the rest of that tech area).

Ice Planet Colonization Base: 200,000

Gas Giant Colonization Base: 2,000,000

Might I ask why you would do this? This creates an extremely unbalanced system. Gas colonization is worth less than Ice in terms of colonizable planets, not 10 times more. And Ice is not worth much less than Rock. Keeping them at equal costs is the best thing to do.
