It's cool to open a new thread for every topic (in fact, I prefer it that way).
Anyway, I'm responding now, just to clear up some facts. Before I comment on how it is better or not, I'd like to hear the opinion of others.
First, the upgrade gold is completely seperate from the gold that is distributed. It's given every five minutes, based on the number of CPs the forces own exactly at the 5 min mark. Any upgrade gold that wasn't used is saved for the next interval. The only interaction between this upgrade gold and the force gold comes into play, when all upgrades are researched. Then the upgrade gold gets added to the force gold, before it is distributed.
The force does not get any passive income, but you got the rest right. The gold for missing CP and factory spawns gets added at every spawn interval.
At some point the interval was changed to 5 minutes and I think it was 1 minute before. I can only guess why it was done, since I didn't do it and it was done years ago. I assume it was changed together with the added force creep upgrades. Upgrades every minute would be way too much, so they were done every 5 minutes instead and to keep it more consistent, upgrades and gold disitribution were done together from that point.
