Unless I'm mistaken, you would have to increase it by 13% just to have any effect at all on your repair rate, and that's only AFTER you research repair to the max. (Top repair module = 8 components per turn.) That's a lot of racial points!!! Points that would probably be better spent somewhere else. Hell, you could lower it by 12% with no ill effects, right? Or am I totally off base here?
