I have seen %700 bonuses for Manufacturing and Research since the TOA update. Multiple times for each in fact.

Awesome, thanks for the quick patch!
TA - Playing a game against 9 computers in a huge galaxy as the Terrans when all of a sudden i notice after completing research on a technology, all of the other technologies i can choose from have now doubled in cost (# of weeks to get that tech) since the last time I chose a technology. My spending rates did not change and my sliders all stayed the same so I do not think this problem was caused by me.
I would love to see the CLOAKING ability.
When starting a game, I think it would be cool if there was the option to choose the average starting planets' quality. For example, I like playing with a few high quality planets instead of a bunch of low quality ones.
