Right, but try modeling that in SE4.. I haven't come up with a way yet. SE4 doesn't do acceleration, and the IC allows fast acceleration.

OK, it's going.. I have the propulsion system set up, and I'm working on getting the armor and sidewalls right.

The hardest part is the scale; I've already bumped the size of the smaller ships up a bit, but creating components to go in ships that range from 80 kt to 8000 kt is a pain!

Sidewalls are still being a pain in the butt.

Question: what's the amount of time you'd consider reasonable to make a high-tech SD? Right now I've got SDs that take upwards of half a decade to build (when filled with standard SE4 tech and my Impeller system)

I think it should be more like 2-3 years. The space yards in HH are much larger then in SEIV, can the limit of one per planet be changed or maybe just the total amount of resources built per turn be raised.

Can be done. Aren't most of the major yards off-planet? So the faster yards will probably be space station based.

It can be done. SJ did it for P&N. Basically, you build something called a "Space Yard Extension" or some such. Then you UPGRADE the extension into a full shipyard. You need to talk to SJ for the details, though.

I didn't say "can't" dumbluck, but that doesn't really fit anyway.. at least from what I can tell

I thought all SY were orbital anyway. If you want the pop mod you need to be on a high pop planet.

If you look at the Grayson Space Navy as an example. They have few SY (Blackbird being the largest) yet they produce lots of SD's and the like. Remenber that the GSN had more SD(p)'s than the RMN and all of those were produced in just a few years.

I don't know how much this might help in the race designs or anything, but it might give some help with components...
Anyway, I stumbled across this site and thought I would post it in case it would be of help to someone!
