Can't say for sure if they're negative or positive from the numbers alone. The wording makes it sound like something you'd never want to put on, but upgrades are something you should want to put on so it's most likely a case of unfinished description. Toss in one extra word and we have - and - makes +.

They are both bad, you want a positive on anything that has speed to increase how fast, but you want  a negative on any thing with time to shorten how long it takes. I honestly have no clue the use of that mod would be.  Maybe was thinking it was meant to go into another mod or something?

you would suspect, but the "bonuses" are actually both negatives. when you but this knowledge slot on your ship, you're literally handicapping yourself by making it worse.
