Are you sure it's capped at 65% and not 60%? My survey team officers who are the ones I normally see get their bonuses that high seem to cap themselves at 60%, at least I've never seen them gain anything above that and as they normally gain 1% per find I would have thought I would have seen them do so in the 100 or so finds they made past that point.

Some are 60%, some are 65% and some may be either. For example a scientist on 55% can get either a 10% or 5% boost. Either way, he won't receive any more.

In my experience, you can no longer build jump gates after your ship's captain reaches +100% production bonus... you need to replace him with a less-skilled officer in order to proceed.

Reported as a bug.

Fixed for v5.55. Also fixed the bug that the production bonus can get that high :). Bonuses are supposed to be restricted to 65%.

Are you positive that it applies to fuel harvesters? I've heard that, but according to the wiki mining bonus affects sorium harvesting.  Automated assignments also placed an officer with a 25% mining bonus on a fuel harvester in preference to an officer with 30% factory production bonus.  There seems to be evidence both ways, but the auto assignments at least vouches for mining bonus. 

LOL I really should know more about this game. Spending all my time coding or learning physics at the moment rather than playing. I checked the code and the only ship types that using the production bonus are jump gate construction ships and salvage ships

Mining bonus AND construction count for mining?!?!
Does the construction bonus hold the same weight as the mining bonus? if so I need to re-examine my asteroid miner assignments!

Oops! My mistake. Mining bonus affects mining ships - production bonus affects fuel harvesters.

It also affects mining ships and fuel harvesters

It also applies to your salvagers, according to the wiki and guesswork based on what officers got auto-assigned to my salvagers.

Pretty sure just jumpgates.  Look forward to Standard Template Constructors in the distant newtonian future

For Naval Officers (ie: Ship's Captains), is the Production Bonus skill used for anything besides building Jump Gates?
