Faster Construction for Larger Ships

[Erik L]

Playing with this I've noticed that smaller ships do take a lot longer. Maybe have the calculation have a lower boundary. Any calculation that falls below that, gets raised to it.

I just find it very odd that it takes 13 months to do a repair on 1500 ton ship. (The repair in question is the geo scanners on a geosurvey ship)

Tha does sound very strange. How big was the ship and what is your base shipbuilding rate?

Steve

Ship was 1500 tons, and the base rate was... 540 I think. The displayed ABP on the tasks was around 290 or so.

What was the repair cost? It's only about 50 I think to repair a geo sensor so it should have happened in two months

300 Phased scanners.

Ah, that does make sense now. A 1500 ton ship should be built at 60% of the normal shipbuilding rate. With an annual rate of 540, the ABP should be 324, which isn't too far from what you saw. The problem seems to be that your shipbuilding rate is only one step up from the base 400 rate (5000 RP) while you are using technology that is several levels higher (100,000 RP for the phased sensors). You are using a very primitive shipyard to repair a very advanced ship so the twelve months is probably reasonable.

If your shipbuilding rate was at a similar level to the ship tech, lets say the 125,000 RP level, it would be 4600 BP per annum, which would be 2760 for the 1500 ton ship and the 300 BP repair would take about six weeks.

The random tech start gave me some very good survey tech.
