Yes you did.

My comment was prompted by a feeling of surprise.

In other areas of a game where more than 1 factor affects something, it is usually additive and not compounded.

I would imagine there are more examples of compounding, but I have yet to find them.

When building a ship:is the more sensors,ecm etc the better? In other words do they add up or is just one all you need?
Check the description of the component; many of them specifically say "only one component per ship is effective".

Different components that have similar effects do combine, e.g. Stealth Armor and Scattering Armor.

Okay,I see now. When designing a ship there's alittle box off to the side that says something like "Modifiers" and you can see the result there of whether or not multiple sensors help or not.

I don't quite understand how one group can be "murderous" but want to be your ally when another group is "brotherly" but you're at war with them. Could someone explain this please?

Take the temporal racial trait and find out. Or click here

If some temporal race is pestering you, click here.

That second click won't help much, but I think its funny
