The only effect it could have is making it less expensive to purchase ships and pay over time. In GCI Iit did not have much of a noticeable effect, either on ship purchasing or on the ability you had in that game to pay for technology trades over 20 turns.

The interest rate value actually affects how many weeks you have to pay for an item you buy with any option other than the first. It's kind of counter-intuitive though, because increasing the "Interest Rates" ability score actually reduces the number of weeks, and vice versa. So, as always, the good result "Reducing Interest" is bad, because it increases the number of weeks you're paying an item off.

Oh and Marcathonas...he MUST be talking about Les Francais
