I just had luck when colonizing a new planet, some space pirates wanted to do business with me. So I got the three usual choices, of which the third seemed too good to pass up and therefore I chose;
+60% military bonus (edit: this probably should have been Starship bonus)

Afterwards I realized I didn't know exactly what this means. It could be any of these alternatives:
a) +60% military production
ships produced on this planet gets +60% offense
c) in the description it says "business with space pirates", something I associate with money/economics so it could be indicating a +60% taxes on this planet
d) something else?

I would have guessed on alternative a) BUT this doesn't show in the planets production figures (they are noted down just after the planet was cononized). With my spending rate set to 100%, and Spending distribution set to 33%/33%/33% the planet shows to be producing Military (3), Social 3 and Research 3. The parenthesis around Military (3) I conclude is because it hasn't got a shipyard yet.

BUT shouldn't the Military 3 be more? Shouldn't this show a higher figure if the planet is +60% Military?

Grateful for some advice here.
