Where are research stations?

Where are research stations?

I've tried looking for them, and with 30h into this save I haven't found a single one?
Are they still in the game or what?
Is there a new feature that I don't know about.

HELP
Where are they, or I'm I just unlucky?

I'm not looking for research centers*

You are probably just unlucky - there are not that many research stations per faction - even found factions that didn't have one.
If you know the faction has a big area you might want to ally with them and buy their full sector map with all stations marked - chance is high there is a research station somewhere in their area.

Just in case you didn't know, you can use the search function on the map to the top left of the screen. It is very handy. Could personally never really find all of whatever at a glance simply by looking at my map.
