By the way, I never understood what was so great about Organics having supposedly faster build times... Sure, your attack ship might cost 15,000 orgs instead of 15,000 mins... but it would still take just as many turns to build! Or are organic ship components really that much cheaper that I never noticed???

THe point is not the amount of resources but the balance. Assume your space yard builds at a rate of 5000 of each rescource per turn. If your ship costs 30,000 minerals and no organics, you can build one every 6 turns. But if it costs 15,000 minerals and 15,000 organics, the same total amount, you can build one ship every three turns.
