[Bug][Beta 1] Planetary bonuses to ships don't seem to work

from GalCiv3 Forums

The description of the Hyperion Logistics System states, that it reduces the logistics cost of ships build on the planet by -1.

I've placed the HLS on Drengi and, once it was finished, began building several tiny ships. My current logistics value was 16, so I expected to be able to put 16 tiny ships in a fleet (regular logistics cost of 2 minus a reduction of 1 = new logistics cost of 1). However, I still could only put 8 in a fleet. I tested it again with small sized and cargo hulled ships, with the same result. I couldn't put any more ships than before in a fleet.

Is it possible, that the transfer of ship-production from the planet to the shipyard has something to do with this?

Also, the HLS currently provides a bonus of 0.05 per level to logistics. At the moment, the max level you could achieve for a military improvement is 6. This means, that the bonus to logistics would be at most 0.3. This isn't enough to increase the logistics value at all. I suggest, to raise the bonus to 0.5. That would mean a bonus of 3 at level 6.

I've tested the Hyperion Supply System improvement (increases the support-range of ships built on the same planet), and it doesn't seem to work either.

I was again playing as the Drengin, researched up to LifeSupport (typo: needs a space between the two words), and build a scout. Afterwards, I began constructing the Hyperion Supply System and, once it was finished, build another scout. I then compared the range of the two scouts. It was 21.9 for both, even though the second one should have 10% more.

Stupid question #1 : you're sure you had completed the production of these Hyperion improvements with 1-turn before you built your new ships  ?

I know you're not stupid, but I know it takes at least 1-turn for starbase improvements to be built and take effect, just wondering if it's the same for planetary improvements.

Yes, I'm sure. I began constructing the ships after the Hyperion improvements were finished. I also built several ships more afterwards. Just to be sure. So, even if the first ship hadn't been affected by the bonus, the subsequent ones should have.

Thanks for reporting this issue, I will look into it! :)

Still waiting for the Hyperion Logistics System to get fixed.  And on that note, there's another problem with the improvement: right now, it gives a flat bonus of 0.05 per Military level to your Logisitics cap, which is obviously pretty irrelevant.  I think <BonusType>Flat</BonusType> was supposed to be <BonusType>Multiplier</BonusType>.
