Corvo Cruiser = 200+ million, and I don't think the researcher ID allows cruisers..
You could try Sigma-19 for a good research area.. The cloud containing the Omicron Beta jump hole has those nearly identical gas giants in ordit with one another (Pretty sure they're called Planet's Hades and Cerberus).
There's also that one could near Planet Sprague that you go into during SP. You know, the cloud with the "abandoned" research station that Juni and Trent escape from as the Rheinland military blows up? That cloud has the same sort of weird glowy white thingy that the Badlands of New York has, so you might be able to do something with it..
