Thanks for the help, I didn't realise you didn't get the same technology as on the ship - I DID get an energency supply pod technology so that explains why no QR - I'll just have to intel some more enemy ships!
Not sure about the PPP thing - maybe just keep on trying, only trouble is I need to use resource procurement just to keep my enconomy going or else I wouldn't be able to pay my maintainence costs. I thought that if I used PPP to get a couple of mineral planets it might relieve the pressure on me to use Resource procurement every turn and free up some intel points for crew insurrection. I have a serious mineral shortage - are robo miners etc worthwhile?
