I've just started a new B5 game as Earth Alliance and at around turn 29 i decided to save it, then looked at the narns just to check how the ai was doing by making them playable and then getting round to their turn. When i looked at what research they were doing i was very surprised to find that they had 49,000 research points and with this amount they had researched physics, industry, and three other 50000 pt research projects, all to level 1! and this is only 29 turns in, which was interesting as there planet could only produce 9000 research points a turn!

I decided to end the turn and see what happend to the research points next turn, i found that they had gone to the origional 9000! ( i guess this is because the computer saw a human was now playing the narns ) So what i'm asking is, is the comp given a research boost at the start which gives them say 40000 extra research points every turn for x amount of turns so they can keep up with the Human players or somthing? as they had researched quite alot in the 29 turns with included lots of 50000 rp research areas.

If it is doing this is it a general se4 thing or somthing you have done?
