Brad, Cari, CC, kryo;

Would it be possible in v1.7 or TA to fix the missing 10% research bonus for planets with rings?

Or, if this was a deliberate change from what is in the manual, could you tell us?

IMHO, the lack of this hurts competitiveness of the races with ringed homeworlds (yes, even the Yor)


Also, suggested event/mega event: "Planet captures rogue planetoid, or Planet passes through comet tail, or Moon disintegrates". Depends on the status of the system to begin with. The event either gives a moonless planet a moon, gives a ringless planet rings, or converts a moon into rings. Perhaps in some cases planet ends up with both! At the cost of some degree of destruction on the planet, similar to a Tidal Disruption attack.
