How did you come to this conclusion?

Paragraph 1.4 already says that the bonuses are 2, 3 and 5 respectively.

Switch an empire under computer control to human player, check the construction queue window. Switch it back to computer control, check again.

It does effect construction rate, but only for planets, not yards on ships.

There is an Escort design from the Terran Confederation. It costs 3250 kt Minerals, 100 kt Organics and 300 kt Rads. In a game with low AI bonus this ship is built by the AI (empire under computer control) during the first turn, it is fully operational at the beginning of 2400.1.
The homeworld of the Terran Federation (under human control) has a construction rate of 3000 kt per turn, switch the empire to computer control and the number change to 4500 (low AI bonus).

EDIT: Terran Confederation is part of the TDM-Modpack.

Edit 2: Thanks for bringing an end to this "discussion", Mephisto.

5.7.2.1 Ships lose fleet experience when they leave fleet.

Is this properly defined? Fleet experience is an attribute of the fleets, not of the sips.

BTW, How Fleet exp. is gained? I'm making experiments and i can't figure out how it works. It seems that the higher the individual ships experience, the faster the fleet gets experience. Is this correct?
