Ship components that generate research and intel

[MadImmortalMan]

I've been trying for months now to make components that generate research points. I wanted to have a sort of science vessel. I think it would be cool to do this with intel point as well, but I can't get it to actually work in the game. I can make the components just fine, but they don't actually seem to make a difference---just dead weight. If it isn't possible, I'd like to know. If it is, please help me out fixing it. Thanks.
