How can I tell if racial bonuses are really working?

[Silent Sorrow]

Thanks. So I checked the saved empire and sure enough it shows the 25 percent ship defence bonus I chose for characteristics. But that number sure doesn't show up in the abilities tab for a ship when I click it.

What gives?

You can only view the empire files from in-game. Load up SE4, then start a game, and hit Add Existing under the Player tab, instead of Add New. Select the Empire File you want to view.
