Why yes! At first I thought, "no, why would I do that?" but searching through my data files I found I added 200 research & intel point generation to Space Port III. So that explains it - it used the lowest-down facility with research points generation, instead of going by family! Guess I'll have to move the Spaceports up to the top, then...
Oh, if you're wondering what I mean by Space Port III, I expanded Spaceport and Resupply Depot facilities to 3 levels. The 1st level acts normal, the 2nd and 3rd are cheaper. In addition, they have added abilities - Space Port II stores resources & cargo, Space Port III does that and generates resources, research, & intel, Resupply Depot II stores resources, and Resupply Depot III trains ships & fleets.
<Edit: Oh, dumb me, I know why I didn't have any research centers! It was because I was starting on high tech level!
