Re: Atraikius, please read.
I was trying to keep the Warhammer 40K feel for them in which thier normal idea of colonizing is to appropriate a massive drifting space hulk, pack it with 10 times as many troops as should fit, get its engines running, and take over the first planet they found, and arming it with weapons was a must as no sane ork would be without more weapons than he could use. To me, even battle cruisers are too small in trying to fit the Games Workshop image of orks, but when I initially let them up to dreadnuaghts, those really took to long, so I compromised with letting them build them up to BC size. The time for construction I wasn't too worried about because I was trying to get them to have a slower, but steady colonization rate, and I haven't really seen them hit a point where resources are a problem, normally when I flip them over to player controlled they have been only at about 50% for their maintenance, so I have to go back to the DesignCreation file and up the numbers a bit.
