Technology "Tarrif stations" gives 10% research bonus?

If I select the specialization tariff stations of trade focus, the description says:
"All starbases now give a significant boost to the trade income of colonies with their area of effect"

Then it says "Unlock: 10% research".  Shouldn't it be 10% trade income?

you mean for the unreleased 1.01?  because as of 1.0, I'm pretty sure it was still there :)

I would produce more xml info but this is all that seems relevant to the convo so far. If this has been fixed in your build I understand. At the very least this leads itself to typo or lack of updating descriptions on tech changes which has happened a bit when techs are redesigned like the Thalan Hyperion Matrix. This is all data files so I don't fault for that aside from your answer(no offense intended{rereading this it sounds possibly like that, i'm just trying to provide as much info as i can]).

P.S. i am not sure if this exists in the other tech tree files, just checked the terran since well it's the most common.

Tariff Stations tech doesn't exist anymore.

Please see ticket #PCE-990-45956 for saved game and screenshot.  It is still there in 1.01.

Still there.  Can't access my Stardock account atm, so I can't update the ticket.

That tech doesnt even exist in the current game. Something is wrong with your copy or you are playing REALLY old saved games.

It exists in all 8 faction's tech trees.

I'm playing a new game started with the latest opt-in patch.

Still there.

Still there in 1.6.1.

 

But thinking about this bug and Derek's comment, is it possible that the tech exists in the tree but is not producing any effect at all?  Anyone ever checked a planet near a starbase to see if we got any kind of effect from this?

If that is the case and we don't have any effect from it, than it should be removed from the tree.

Still there in patch 1.71.

The code is there even in 1.71.

 

Edit:

For all Races, not just Terran Tree.

Are you using 1.71

yes, I corrected my post, 1.71.  I've only checked Thalan and Terran tech trees, but Horemvore has confirmed it for all races.
