The capstone movement technology didn't increase my fleet moves, and the capstone manufacturing technology didn't increase my manufacturing.
I was playing the Altarians at godlike, and researched each of those capstones several times, with no effect. My fleets were poking along around 20 moves, while the Minot AI had fleets with moves in the 40s. I assume the capstone was working for them. Similarly, my manufacturing didn't budge.
It is possible that I traded for those capstones before I started researching them. Perhaps that caused the bug.
Capstones always work for me the 1st time I research them, but no stacking after that. I have also reported this several times, but have never heard if it's a bug or working as intended. As you said, it seems to stack for the AI, but that could just be intentional also.
Thank you.
It would be OK if capstones didn't stack for players. But, in that case, they shouldn't be offered as research options after you have taken them.
Also, I have a feeling that the kinetic capstone was stacking for me – my small kinetic ships were doing well over 100 damage. But I'm not positive about that.
I agree that if they don't stack then they shouldn't keep appearing in the research list. I've never gotten the Kinetic Capstone
