I have dreg adv miners. (120 mps base)

I have dreg innate speed bonus (144 mps?)

I have a shipyard with speed1 upgrade (158.4 mps?)

I have a drydock with speed2 upgrade (174.24 mps?)

What is the rule when stacking (or not stacking) bonuses?

Will my dreg adv miners really go 174.24 mps?; or will they go 168 mps? (120 x 1.4 for speed1, speed2, and dreg)

Or is there some strange calculation used that stacks some bonuses yet doesn't stack others?

Pretty sure everything is multiplicative. Kind of like how when yo get the IC sigups, you don't go back to 100% sig, instead you go to 96% because it's 1.2*.9*.9
We've upped our standards. Up yours.

The bonus (technically 110%) multiplies each time, so it's:

120 * 1.1 * 1.1 * 1.1 * 1.1
or
120 * (1.1)^4 = 175.7 mps.

Except dregh speed bonus is 1.2, not 1.1*1.1
No, pants are still optional. But for you, recommended.

And those miners would have to be going in a straight line for a long long time...

Still, this shows how ridiculous Dreg can get...

Try dropping a prox on them when they're going that speed.
You'd be hard pressed to find a commander these days that actually prevents their miner from plowing in at 180 or so mps.

Miners slow down and attempt to dodge prox automatically.

But can miners slow down in time if they go at 180mps?
