Building increases a colony's morale by +20%, which improves all of farming, industry, research and income. See [[Master of Orion II/Strength through Joy|Strength through Joy]] for an example of how useful a morale-boosting building can be. | Building increases a colony's morale by +20%, which improves all of farming, industry, research and income.

The best Ship's targeting computer, increases "beam" weapons' chances of hitting by +100%. Not cumulative with other computers. Only misses against Battleships or smaller that have either a +50% defensive bonus or a Displacement Device; hits anything else almost 100% of the time. Also maximizes your chances of shooting first if you play with the "ship initiative" option on (see the military sections of this guide for details). | The best Ship's targeting computer, increases "beam" weapons' chances of hitting by +100%.

Ship Special System than enables "beam" weapons to bypass the target's armor (they must first penetrate the shields) and triples the chance to damage weapons and other essential systems (and often causes drive explosions). Achilles Targeting Unit + good computer (at least Cybertronic) + good "beams" = mass murder of enemy fleets, and holocaust if also supported by Structural Analyzer. | Ship Special System than enables "beam" weapons to bypass the target's armor (they must first penetrate the shields) and triples the chance to damage weapons and other essential systems (and often causes drive explosions).
