Super Abilities

Hi,

What does the Super Abilities do? Do they give some sort of "invisible bonus", or is the Super Ability figured into the starting bonuses for the races? So that the reason humans get the fixed bonuses they do - that is in fact tied to the Super Ability?

• [Terrans] Super Diplomat: Is able to secure much better deals through negotiation than other civilizations.

• [Drengins] Super Dominator: When going to war, they receive a group of Corvette class ships. The number they receive is based on their military power.

• [Altarians] Super Organizer: When attacked, other civilizations of a similar ethical alignment will often come to their aid if they have good relations. Moreover, other civilizations of a similar alignment will rarely go to war against them.

• [Arceans] Super Warrior: When in battles, they get the first strike ability. That is, their ships attack first and if their opponent survives, only then do they return fire.

• [Torians] Super Breeder: If their approval is 100%, their population increases at four times the normal rate.

• [Yor] Super Isolationist: Can colonize barren worlds and no foreign ship can travel more than 3 spaces per turn in their area of influence.

• [Korx] Super Trader: Gets all the trade techs at the start of the game and gets twice as much from trade.

• [Drath] Super Manipulator: Is very good at getting other races to go to war with each other.

• [Thalans] Super Hive: Starts out with a significant range bonus and all factories build times are reduced by 2/3 (this applies to the factories only and not subsequent other builds).

• [Iconians] Super Adapter: Starts out with aquatic and toxic world technologies.

• [Korath] Super Annihilator: Can build a spore ship which, when used on a defenceless colony, will eliminate all population and turn it into a toxic world of the same class controlled by them.

• [Krynn] Super Spy: Gets an agent to start with and can build a Counter-Espionage Center on planets that prevents spies from being put on the planet and provides a morale boost.

These bonuses are hardcoded into the game as far as i am aware.
