I ran a test with a component, and got results similar to Fyron, though none of the points were showing up on the Scores screen. In other words:

-minerals, organics, and rads don't show up on any display, but you do get the points.
-Intel shows up on the "Intelligence Points Available" field at the top of the main Intelligence screen
-Research shows up in the "Research Points Available" field at the top of the Research screen.

Here's the component I used:

Name := DreamComp
Description := Delete me!
Pic Num := 269
Tonnage Space Taken := 20
Tonnage Structure := 20
Cost Minerals := 10
Cost Organics := 0
Cost Radioactives := 0
Vehicle Type := Ship\Base
Supply Amount Used := 0
Restrictions := None
General Group := Cargo
Family := 7
Roman Numeral := 1
Custom Group := 0
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Cargo
Tech Level Req 1 := 1
Number of Abilities := 5
Ability 1 Type := Generate Points Minerals
Ability 1 Descr := makes stuff
Ability 1 Val 1 := 1000
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0
Ability 2 Type := Generate Points Organics
Ability 2 Descr := makes stuff
Ability 2 Val 1 := 1000
Ability 2 Val 2 := 0
Ability 3 Type := Generate Points Radioactives
Ability 3 Descr := makes stuff
Ability 3 Val 1 := 1000
Ability 3 Val 2 := 0
Ability 4 Type := Generate Points Research
Ability 4 Descr := makes stuff
Ability 4 Val 1 := 1000
Ability 4 Val 2 := 0
Ability 5 Type := Generate Points Intelligence
Ability 5 Descr := makes stuff
Ability 5 Val 1 := 1000
Ability 5 Val 2 := 0
Weapon Type := None


I think given these limitations, I'd still use the Point Generators for Intel and Research, but I am disinclined to use the regular resource ones (mins, orgs, rads).
