It might be obvious, but no one has explicity mentioned it. If you really wanted to build the monolith economy, but still gain maximum resources as soon as possible. Would you not build the normal economy first, say resource II's. But for the final two facility slots build a space yard for improved build and start the first monolith. As each monolith completes, scrap a normal facility and build another monolith. It is a lot a micromanagement, but it will get you the most resources along the way.

Yes, I didn't mention this but it does work. Once again, do a few case studies because for every system there are disadvantages.

Ruatha, of course, I expect it; I am not the kind of person who needs to have the Last word on everything. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything; I am trying to show people how to come up with the answers that are right for themselves and their play style. The people here are smart enough to make up their own minds. If anyone has a play style they like or prefer, then that is the one that is right for them - the game mechanics will always be the same but different play styles can certainly be used effectively.
