so what does this bonus do?

There is an event that provides a bonus but i can't figure out that the bonus is/does. here is the event

High-Tech Hijack

Your explorers have discovered an extremely high-tech ship orbiting the planet. It's populated with a small crew, but to thoroughly dismantle and research the vessel's construction would prove useful in our ship manufacturing skills.

What is your decision on the matter?

Good Option: We are not in the business of stealing starships. Leave the crew in peace.

Neutral Option: Contact the crew and request as much info on the ship's technology as possible. (+20% Starship bonus)

Evil Option: Send soldiers to retrieve the ship and interrogate the crew, to improve the quality of our ships. (+60% Starship bonus)

Morality Weight: 2


This is a direct quote from the wiki so even they don't have anything else on it.

So does anyone know what exactly does the "starship bonus" do?

It apprears to be a planetary bonus as there is no mention of this bonus in the civilization manager.

If its a production bonus then why isn't it called military production? As that appears to be what military production does, it makes starships.

I hope someone can shead some light on the subject.

It's a boost to attack power for all ships built on that planet.

There are some posts from kyro in a couple of other threads that say he thinks the "starship" bonus applies to Attack AND Defense total value of ships produced at that planet.

No 'thinks' about it, that's what it does.

All ships built from that planet gain x% to both attack and defense.

You can find it again by just going to the Planet Screen->Details page and cycling through them (special bonuses like that are listed there).
