Can anyone/Stardock explain what benefit the S-Forge Ship Quality Bonus performs ?

from GalCiv2 Forums

This one is still a mystery to me. The Stella Forge for the Arceans has a Ship Quality Bonus of 25%. This matches the Ship Hit Point Bonus of 25% which it also provides. After consulting the game manual and searching through the forums as well as data files for the game I am still at a loss as to the function of the Ship Quality Bonus.

Please could someone shed some light on the matter.

The HP bonus is an HP bonus; the "quality" bonus is an attack bonus.

Just verified in TA 2.0.

OK thanks for that. I do think however it's a strange way of describing an attack bonus in relation to the rest of the game, where it's different - (misleading).

It may be strange, but it's consistent with the planetary/colonization events that grant a "starship bonus", as those events grant an attack bonus (and only an attack bonus).

I would agree that it's confusing to have a "quality" and an "hp" bonus on the same improvement, though.
