Researching Oddities

Once you research it . . .

I noticed that if I researched something that took 4 research stations and researched that item, that if I dismatle/skuttle a station that would bring me under the 4 previously required, I won't be able to build another structure gained from the previous research. For example, I researched Media hubs pretty deep into their abilities like almost no where to go in that direction and then I tried to take down labs to clear logistics space for a crap load of media hubs, but all of the sudden it told me the pre-reqs weren't met. This has to be a minor bug, yes?

Nope, it's intended. You need to maintain the correct number of labs to continue building the researched hulls/buildings ;)

This is as designed. You have to keep your stations up to preserve structure and frigate/cruiser unlocks. We want you to have to choose whether your slots are used by research or by other things.

BTW, very glad you did this. I tried deleting a few research centers last night to see if I would retain that research, and was very pleased to see I did not.

Kudos.

then it becomes very difficult to win if you only have two planets that are well protected. it seems that if you should pay in crystal and gold for knowledge that that does not disappear from your "knowledge" once attained.
