The bonuses for both the Vasari and the Advent colony capital ships make sense. Plus you can see them reflected in the planet info when hovering over a planet.
What exactly does "free resource extractors will be built at higher levels" mean? That construction on them proceeds more quickly?
Nope. Once your Akkan Battlecruiser hits a certain level, it will give you free mineral extractors. How? Just make it colonize a planet and let it sit there for a minute or two (don't click it away! just zoom off somewhere to see how the market is doing or if the enemy is breaching bordors), and two extractors appear on two of the mineral deposits floating around planet/asteroid. Of course your Construction Frigates need to take care of it but they appear there Free Of Charge.
Hrm, they should decrease that time if they can. If someone doesn't realize they get those, they'd easily miss out.
It's a general "funky thing" with all the colony cap abilities. I hesitate to call it bug, because it really isn't. Basically what happens is when the colonize ability is used, it launches little pods that go toward the planet. What the game does is it waits for those pods to finish their travel before it goes on with part 2 of the ability, which is the various bonuses depending on the race. I hope it gets changed to either be independent of the pod travel times, or just reduce the pod travel times from 30 seconds to 5-10, at the most.
