Default Blockades

When I blockade a planet, what happens to the production of research and intelligence?
I know that the production of minerals, orgs and rads stops, but I have my doubts about research and intelligence, since these two don't need an spaceport to be avaliable for an empire....

That is incorrect. They need a spaceport as well.

Well, in tactical mose it's easy... don't attack!

Strategic is a little harder, it's a matter of making sure you have your fleet strategies and ship strategies correctly set.

ALternatively, send in an unarmed (or armed only with PD) ship.

Also, set your fleet leader to a ship with no weapons. It will run away from the planet instead of attack and the other ships will follow.

what is the point of a Blockade, since the planet can still build or does this stop the empire as a whole from getting any resources from said planet?
