Assuming it's just half, would an effective workaround be to just double all racial build rates for the game being played in the database until a patch comes out? (To obtain the intended/designed buld rate.)

« on: September 22, 2011, 03:35:26 PM »yeah, i've noticed this and its been a little annoying-- I got around it by simply prefabbing the engines and other key components (terraformers, jump gate construction modules). This brings the wait time down a bit, but its still a bit out of control.

First of all, it only affects commercial shipyards, so a simple doubling of the racial build speed won't be a balanced fix.
More importantly, though, is that it doesn't simply halve the expected ABR. Instead, the bug involves the game taking the size of every commercial vessel to be 0 tons when determining the effective build rate. With the way the effective build rate is calculated, this results in an effective build rate that will always be at half your racial. It doesn't matter if you're building a 1000ton or a 100,000ton vessel.
