bonus questions

There are a bunch of bonusses available in the game. With some of them the effect is clear: get Tech A and all
your ships have 10% better defense .... get Tech B and your research increases 10%. Similarly, I assume every
anomaly surveyed to confer a global bonus.
Starbases, now, seem to bestow their bonusses only on planets and ships in the same sector. But what about resources
that are being mined by a starbase? If I have a starbase mining a research resource - is that 5% global or local?
In other words if it were sector local it would avail me nothing if I didn't also own planets in the sector?!?
Even more hairy seems to me the question of planet bonusses. I settle Planet Centauri III. Say, I already have thriving colonies on Centauri I and VII - now I get told that my settlers have found Ye Olde Starship orbiting Centauri III and
I have the options (morality test) of reaping a 15% research bonus - would this be for
-all planets in the solar system,
-for just the planet involved, or would it be a
-sector or a
-global bonus?
The same question arises w.r.t. Economy Capital etc.
I own Sirius I (size 26), III,IV and VI (all size 17) - I am making Sirius I my economic capital and begin
sending out freighters assuming that the economic capital will help increase the benefit gained from the trade routes.
Maybe I am wrong, maybe no benefit is collected that way. Even so, I am wondering if it were, would a freighter built
on Sirius IV get a benefit from the Economic Capital on Sirius I? Are these things accounted for in planets or in solar
systems?
