My reasoning's as why I believe this would make it better and more fun is because it's not a permanent decision. There are multiple times during rounds where players wish they had saved their bonus for inc/large retal cap/etc stuff they're likely not prepared for but a re-occurring bonus would help out in those spots.

Mostly it's just that I'm not certain how I would want to implement construction points into the bonus as I would bet 99% of the time no one takes CU.
This would allow for taking CU when you no longer need any Research Points to fill up your constructions later in the rounds.

I'm also confused as to how reducing the CU/tick and RP/tick to 0 at tick start encourages players to upgrade.

I believe it has to be lower as it would be re-usable.
It could start up at the normal rates we have now then regrow that would be an option as well.

Finally, the current setup is 4000+24*tick RP and 2000+18*tick CU and 10000 + 4800*tick resources and 6+3/20*tick asteroids (from here)
All of your numbers are much lower than this, so I assume that you mean, for example, you want to change it to 0+ 50*tick RP, 0+30*tick CU, etc to encourage upgrading?

Numbers need to be lower (but maybe not as low as I was suggesting) as the re-usability would make this WAAAAAAY too good if it was the same as we have now

I'm not sure what the staggering scenario, especially of RP/CU, really gains for the added complexity.

It adds more options.
The simple ability to use the bonus more then once should be reason enough to encourage a higher percentage of paid planets.
All numbers were purely examples of what could be done, and what I would think would be fair.
