Default Re: Just bought SE2!!!

I liked the way SEIII treated construction. It builds the ship and then fills it up with the components, the same way that a damaged ship is repaired. So you don't suddenly get a completed ship at the end of the construction. You can also have multiple ship yards on the same planet or same ship, and you can move construction items around from one ship yard to another using a special interface, even if they are partly made. It was a lot of fun when you have construction worlds with space yard bases or ships in orbit. You can shift those grey construction blocks around from space yard to space yard, tweaking and optimizing the construction sequence to take advantage of different build rates and timing the completion dates according to your plan.
