Help! Ran out of stuff to research!!

[raynor]

Once you run out of stuff that you *want* to research or once you have *actually* researched everything, then you just have tons and tons of facilities lying around useless.

How about adding a tech area which converts research points into intel points? Yeah, I know this would require MM help not just a mod. Let it start out at 50% intel points for all your research points and then let that number go up and up as you researched progressively more expensive projects.

Another option would be to create a facility which changes research points into mineral, organic and/or radioactive production. This also would help minimize the impact of having tons of research facilities sitting idle on many of your planets.

The bottom line is to find some way so that research facilities aren't just sitting idle once you have researched everything.
