One important thing to note about the increased cost of a master computer is that construction rates calculate each resource separately. Like a Ship Space Yard 1 can build with 1000 mineral, 1000 organics, and 1000 energy at once. That means that most often the organic and energy build abilities are wasted. The master computer doesn't take much more minerals, so it gets built in about the same time as the crew facilities. In big ships its actually cheaper in minerals and thus gets built way faster.
