Fast construction

That's a huge amount of racial points being spent there. I don't think that design would be very effective in a (normal) PBW game.

Engineers (NOT workers), Temporal, Hardy Industrialists, and maxed ship yard rate costs 6000 points. Ow.

On a fully filled jublient homeworld, it gives you 11kt building per turn. Fully filled Huge world gives 13kt.

This sounds great, but can your economy keep up? My bet is that half your space yards will be idle due to lack of resources.... or you will build half as many space yards, a self defeating proposition either way.

That's why I said it wouldn't be a very effective strategy.

But early in the game it can give an edge, you will construct colony ships in 2 turns instead of 3.

With all the bonuses mentioned here, you could build them in one!

All you need for 2 turn construction is a rate of 2400. Your homeworlds do that easily and if you crank construction attribute by 20%, so do all the rest. No need for any more.

My HWs always build colony ships in 2 turns.

Well... at least until I get SY IIIs, when they build them in 1 turn.
