Re: How can I tell if racial bonuses are really working?
Sounds to me like you really don't have the abilities you think you bought, for whatever reason.

You could check what your values actually are by saving your empire, then editing that .emp file in Game Setup/Players.

How do I open one of these emp files?

Hmm, I would but it says file uploading isn't allowed here. If you have an e-mail address I can send it to you personally and you can have a look for me.

Go to the main Intel Forums page, then go in the first forum (Mods/Scenarios Uploads). You can upload files in there.
You can only view the empire files from in-game. Load up SE4, then start a game, and hit Add Existing under the Player tab, instead of Add New. Select the Empire File you want to view.

Re: How can I tell if racial bonuses are really working?
Thanks. So I checked the saved empire and sure enough it shows the 25 percent ship defence bonus I chose for characteristics. But that number sure doesn't show up in the abilities tab for a ship when I click it.
What gives?

Re: How can I tell if racial bonuses are really working?
Update: I just looked at the abilities tab for a ship, while NOT in combat, and I see that the racial bonus is indeed listed. I don't know if I simply never looked while outside of combat or what, but the bonus does seem to show.
However, why doesn't it show in the tab while I'm IN combat?
Second, when I'm designing a ship and I'm adding in all the components such as ECM, the defence bonus shows for the added component. Should it not start from a base of whatever racial bonus you have? Or was this simply how the game was designed?
