Starbase upgrades and evil alignment?

from GalCiv2 Forums
How does it work? I am playing an evil race for the first time but as far as I can tell I still have to pay for upgrading my starbases: for instance, I had to pay 500 to install a module to influence starbase and 200 to install battlestations to a militray starbase.

Thank you for your time and answers!

P.S. I have Xeno Ethics and I have chosen evil.

Is it a bug? I just noticed that I do not seem to get trade route tribute either. At least it is not listed separetely. (Supposedly, you receive 1bc per foreign minifreighter per turn, while the minifreighter is within your area of influence)

Is the cost actually being deducted from your treasury as well when you add a module? If so then it does sound like a bug.

The cost is deducted. Apparently a bug then.

Strange. I just checked my alignment and it appears that I do have an alignment. However, I reserached xeno ethics long time ago and I remember that I chose evil. Weird, maybe I took a save and forgot to choose? But isn't it automatic: as soon as you get xeno ethics you have to choose?

Yes.
