Starship bonus?

from GalCiv2 Forums

I got an event giving a planet 48% starship bonus. What does this do actually?

Every ship built on that planet gets a 48% bonus to its attack rating, which is kind of a big deal.

Haha. The planet in question has 300% Production tile and considering I already have 3 Military resources with Advanced Mining Matrix this game is going to be hilarious (Drengi).

Looks like you got doubly lucky, but even if the planet was crappy production-wise, you could build cheap empty hulls there and then upgrade them to combat designs with the bonus intact.  Happy smashing  :cylon:

In a game last night, as a civilization trying to be Good, I found myself in a predicament as I found a planet that offered +42% starship bonus if I chose the Evil option.  I don't plan on conquering other worlds, but let's face it I will need ships in the future for some reason (pirates, peacekeepers, etc). 

What to do?  What to do?

You can always purchase your way to goodness, 2500 for neutrality (recommended for Korx), 10000 for goodness (from evil)   Don't pass up a huge bonus for the sake of alignment.

Does the bonus show up anywhere after you build the ship, so you can look at a ships stats and know if it has the bonus?

I haven't seen the applied bonus mentioned anywhere on the Ship Details screen.  I mean there is no "+??% Starship bonus" notation in ship information.  You will find that on the Planet Details screen, though.

The only way to know if a ship has the bonus is to compare the stats to a similar ship that was built on another planet.  It'll be noticible in the Attack.  Like one of my dreadnoughts (upgraded from a Lucky Ranger) had 330 Attack, but a similar model dreadnought that was built on the planet I had the starship bonus had a 425 Attack.
