Research coordinator/Stock Exchange Strangeness

Just a couple of things I've noticed that I hadn't seen mentioned (Though I admit to not opening every thread)

The Cost of outright buying a Stock Exchange is almost half of what it is to buy the preceding Banking center. I tested it by buying each on two empty tiles on the same planet and the Banking center was 1534 while the SE was only 868. This is Terrans, Neutral Alignment if it makes any difference.

For the RC. I have a Tech Capital producing 624RP. I built the Research Coordinator and the planet only went up to 647RP. Seems more like it's closer to 25RP instead of 25%. I'm not actually sure how the RC interacts with bonus RP and such, but this still seems way off.

Besides that(and other well known things) Thanks for the new addiction

I recall hearing about the banking center/stock exchange issue a while back. It seems quite odd that they would have done it that way on purpose, so maybe its just a coding error they never fixed.

Never really noticed that about the RC, but I'm going to take a look once I'm back home....maybe they arent nearly as useful as I thought! Thanks for the info.

Just tested it in my current DA 1.80g game, the Research Coordination Center does indeed give me a roughly 25% increase in planetary research points with both civilization and planetary focus set to 100% research.

edit: And the Stock Market costs me 1158 to purchase, while the Banking Center costs 948 on a fresh planet.
