Starbase Bonuses

from Stardock Forums
I get it that mined bonuses are for your entire empire, but I'm still not sure what they do. What does 10% bonus Military or Technology mean? Economic and morale are pretty straightforward, but Military what, and Technology what? Is it Military production or attack/defense/HP? What about technology? Is it how fast you learn new ones? Is it the capability to get certain ones? What's the deal

You are right in your assumptions. The military resources give you a bonus to your ships hp/att/def, and the research resources give a bonus to your research abilities (less time to research the tech's).

Something to notice is that the shape and color of each resouce will ALWAYS signify which type of resource it is.

Red cones = Military bonus
Blue cubes = Cultural bonus
Green spheres = Economic bonus
Yellow cyliners = Morale bonus
Purple Pyramids = Research bonus

These resources give POWERFUL bonuses to your empire. As you advance through the game, you'll learn how to bribe for resource SB's or even send other AI to war with one another and then gobble up the resources for yourself once the "original" owners SB has been destroyed.

Have fun and ask any questions you want here, you'll usually get a quick response. :HOT:

The bonus from resources apply to the empire-wide abilities, you have a list of those on the status-tab. If you have 10% research bonus from a resource and 20% from other empire-wide sources it meens you get a total of 30% bonus to your research, so if you have a planet that would give you 10+0 research it will now produce 11+2 researc. Witch meens you only pay for one of the extra 3 research.
The militarry bonus applies to both attack and defence, but not hitppoints.
