I'm returning to Aurora after a year or so break, and I feel like ship building speed is significantly slower now. I'm 12 years in, with
15% shipbuilding leader bonus, and I have researched the first increased shipbuilding rate tech. I'm trying to build a 1000 BP destroyer, and if I pre-build all the components, it takes about 10 months. If I don't, it takes a year and a half. My big commercial ships often take more than two years to build. Am I missing something important? Was there a slowdown in build speed in some recent version? Or have I just forgotten the pace of things?
As others have said that seems pretty standard to me as well. Normal ships take some time to build so I always try to design them to fit. What bothers me is that sometimes a refit takes longer than building a new ship, that seems... weird. But OK.

But seriously, I've always pre built components for my most important or urgent vessels, well, I kinda forgot in my last game but no big deal.
