Default Re: Advice, what would *you* do?

Certainly you'll be getting more "payback" on your investment by waiting and using it to get level 6 -- assuming you cannot easily capture another. This is just the sort of value judgment that the game is about, though. How much will the maintenance cost you in the mean time? If it is a signifigant amount of your total resource stream you might lose in the long run by keeping it too long. Also, as others have pointed out, if it has other technologies that would help you it might be worth the 'loss' of the extra research points in the cost of level 6 if you gain something else from it as well.
