Research base scuttling

I was playing sins and i suddenly thought, can i scuttle research bases and still get the research benefits, or do I lose them? or do i only lose access to certain upgrades?

You retain access to the researched abilities and bonuses, but you can not build structures or ships that require that number of research bases to build.  For example, weapon / shield advances or planetary colonization techs would stay, but if you dropped down to 4 military bases, you can't build Heavy Cruisers anymore.

You probably Don't want to scuttle your research bases....unless someone is about to blow them up anyhow.
