Summary0001814: ARS can be loaded onto transports
DescriptionAt the moment we can load normal research stations onto transports, but not the ones on AI planets that unlock new ship types.

It seems a little odd, and tends to leave them stranded as the AI prioritise them when they pass through a system, so I'd like them to be transportable!

iirc X4000 thought it would be a bit of an exploit to have them transportable. the ARS has 500k health and a knowledge gather rate of 6. The main thing they are intended to do is give your team a free ship.

Since you can't gather research on a hostile planet anymore anyway, it doesn't seem to be much of an exploit to me. It would just a convenience to be able to transport them in my construction transport which contains all the ships I use to colonize and develop new planets. (colony ships, mobile builder, a few engineers, research ships).

What Winter Born said, basically. These have higher health and higher gather rates, and aren't something that I'd want to be easily transportable all around the galaxy.
