Getting research points?

[Ferio]

I'm at the point where I need to get research points for gravity module. However, i've explored every system I have found and even spend hours trying to find new ones, but unable to (even through maps of others), but not every game is the same it seems.

Any idea how I can get more research points?

First off: the game does randomize some stars. The overall spiral stays the same, but multiple stars can and will move when you start a new game. Also, some quests move as well. And that brings me to the first research point source.

1. There is a radio telescope array you can find on a random planet that you have to repair with tritanium. If you repair it, you can return every so often and you will either be given research points, or find that someone took your tritanium and you have to re-repair your station. This is NOT the station that floats in the gas giant, btw.

2 + 3 + 4. There is also the comets, and the deep space bugs and other anomalies.

5. If you haven't, you should fly close to every star. Some of them, especially the most deadly ones, will give research.

6. A great many of the nebula in this game hide secrets. If you find a nebula, you pretty much are guaranteed to find something interesting in it.

Hmm. Can anyone else think of RP sources?

OH, I forgot about the probes. Have you been chasing them? Catching them will give RP for a while.

Probes, comets, seeds floating in the void, bits of tech from processing asteroids and debris from derelict ships, fly-bies near unusual stars, tech exchange with the V-something explorers, purchasing unusual items from the Citadel, the artifact dealers' space station, etc.

And I am sure that I forgetting a lot of things.
