Default Re: Colony ships, for sale cheap!

But you need to take into account the advantage to players who max out their construction trait. As it stands now, even with +50% construction plus the Engineer (125% base) cultural trait, a colony ship still takes 2 turns to build. If the build time was increased to 8 to 10 turns, those with the advanced constuction traits would be able to expand exponentally faster than those with out (5 or 6 turns per ship then each colony can send out more ships faster and so on).
