Questions Not Worth Their Own Thread: C# Edition

TL;DR:
1) Does a colony governor add half their Logistics bonus to mass driver capacity?
1a) If so, does this only apply to non-CMC colonies?
2) A CMC colony (with minerals being purchased) that also has non-CMC mining assets (surface mines, automines, or orbital modules) flings two packets each day. Is that intended?

Observations:

I have a colony that is a CMC, to which I have added some surface mines (and enough population to work them).

I also added two additional mass drivers.
The colony summary shows the expected Mass Driver Capacity of 15,000 tons.

I am purchasing the minerals from the CMC.

The total mining rate of the colony is about 27.6 kt/yr.
The CMCs make up about 56% of the total. (15 CMCs and 117 mines; 150/(150+117) ~= 0.562).
So that's ~15.5kt/yr from the CMCs, and ~12.1kt/yr from the surface mines.

The colony has a stockpile of 4867 minerals, all of which have reserve levels:
Three are not mined here. Total stock 4827. Each has a reserve level of 999,999.
Four are mined here. Each has 10 stock and a reserve level of 10.

So, all of the stock is reserved.
I would expect the colony to create 15kt of mineral packets per year, and gain stock at a rate of 27.6 - 15 = 12.6 kt/yr.

But this colony is flinging two mass packets per day. (I am running 1-day const cycles.)

One packet each day travels 1000km/s.
The size of this packet varies slightly based on the exact timing of the const cycle, as expected.
Adjusted for const cycle timing, the average packet size implies a yearly mass driver capacity of ~15.71 kt.

The speed of the other packet each day varies from 1343 to 1347 km/s.
Again with these, the size of the packet varies slightly based on the exact timing of the const cycle, as expected.
Adjusted for the speed bonus (relative to 1000km/s) and also for const cycle timing, the average packet size implies a yearly mass driver capacity of ~15.03 kt.

The governor has a 10% logistics bonus.
The size of each of the slow packets in flight exactly matches the rounded daily value calculated by adjusting 15.75kt/yr by the length of the const cycle on which that packet was created.
So it seems like the slow packet might be benefiting from a mass driver capacity bonus equal to half of the governor's logistics bonus.

The second packet does not seem to get that benefit.
Maybe the second packet is coming from the CMC, which does not get that bonus?

A base station mounting some Maintenance Module, placed at a Deep Space Population, i.e. far away from a body, will it anyway operate as a maintenance point? E.g., will the module(s) be operative, or not?
And what about decoys? Can I transfer them to the base? and load them from the base into a ship?
I need some support bases scattered around, as the inhabited planets are becoming more and more distant from the outskirts.

As a CMC has its own mass driver, I think you see the packets from it and from the mass driver of your colony.

There is only one colony.
A CMC, when created, is your colony. You can add more stuff to it, as I have done here.
