Hi!
According to the manual an Economic Starbase "increases the value of trade routes when your freighters pass through the area of effect". How does is exactly work?
For instance I have a trade route than brings me 10bc. I set up a starbase next to the planet the route originates, with a +10% Trade Post module. So, when a freghter move through its area of effect circle, the route suddenly brings me 11 bc? I can't figure this out from the Trade Screen, none of the figures are explained in the manual. Routes bring revenue like 4/12, etc, I wonder why it fluctuates like that, and how do I figure out the extra that was given by the Trade Post? Too confusing.
Also, about the "pass through" as written in the manual. If I set up another trade post, will the bonuses stack, or is it one bonus per route? If they do stack, if a freighter crosses a zone that is the intersection of 2 Trade Posts' area of effect, will I get 20%? Then if the freighter move further, exists this area of effect, then enter the area of a third Trade Post, will the bonus be +30%?
