I suspected something like this. Why can't they just enter it in their description that clear?
And what effects does it have exactly?. Ok, 14 going up to 15 turns a moneysink into a cashcow, but what effects does improving a 15 to a 16 have? I am a strategy gamer, I like to calculate beforehand if a certain investment pays and if, in how many turns. But I guess this game just was not designed for my kind of play style. Not that I preplan every ship construction and movement 10 turns ahead in SEIV, but sometimes it's fun ...
