The top page of research points has a player that has 'lost' 1.1kk points in research, considering you cannot downgrade research and deleting a planet does not affect this then how is this possible?
I would post a link to a stats page which shows the drop in points but do not want to draw attention to the player even though looking at the research highscore for Zibal will let you see who it is.
I cannot get my head around how this is possible.
