Use your scrappers as you get them, Get the techs you need as you need them. Any addition to research costs is trivial in the long run since as a monster race you are going to have lots of resources left over in the end game. When all tech is maxed at 26, minerals are in short supply - what do you care how much all that research cost you? You are building ships - not researching.

In the mid game, you'll see yourself spending thousands of resources for research in a given turn - where is the advantage in trying to save 2k resources overall in the research plan? Besides which, all the free tech you are getting from the scrappers is saving you thousands of resources.

By getting the free tech from scrappers, you are gaining overall and getting something for free.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.
