Rapid manufacturing question

March 1, 2009 2:44:11 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

It says something along the lines that for a bit of time the Sova's strike craft are built instantly and that friendly ships and structures in orbit build faster.

So, I see on the planet that it gets the bonus but I never see the bonus on a carrier (or other caps) and I took it to mean that strike craft will be built faster, am I wrong?

Is it instead saying that factories will work faster or constructors or something?

I always thought friend ships were suppose to build strike craft faster, can anyone tell me if it does that and if its suppose to do that or not.

Loaded up my saved game to read the infocard again just to be sure.  They mean that ships produced from factories in that gravwell and structures under construction are quickened.  Strikecraft other than the Sova's are not.

I'd rather see it not help frigate, cruiser or structure construction and instead provide the instant strikecraft construction to all ships within a certain range.  Probably all within the gravwell, but I'm not sure how badly that would imbalance things.  I'd figure not much with a long enough cooldown and/or short enough duration.

I don't think strikecrafts need such help. They are free and can do a lot of damage if you don't have the means to clear them out (anti-fighter ships aren't that great at clearing them). Having them instantly replaced would make things quite loopsided...

Well, I mainly meant it as a very temporary counter ability to carriers rebuilding at the current 75% penalty.

Wow, so that means if you research all of industrial juggernaut and have a sova carrier at your ship production world, for 45 seconds, you would be building a fleet ligtning fast...but what I got from it I think should be it instead of that...that ships (carriers/caps) should instead build their strikecraft faster and not be produced faster.  I don't think they should build instantly unless its for the sova, but build faster is good.
