As Arcean...
I've got a planet, close to my capital, 10b population, 7 factories and 3 asteroid mines.
Building a ship with a 'cost' of 130BC (but if i buy now it's 800), it's taking 20 turns.
When I focus on military production, I have 9 military shields, 3 social shields and 2 research shields.
When I click summary, it says the planet has 73 MP's.
It also has 2 markets and a farm.
There has to be something I'm not getting, the way I see it small sized ships should be being built preeetty fast by this planet.
If this much production still takes 20 turns for a single ship to get built, I can't imagine how long it would take to get any fleet together.
Development has been fun, but after 10 hours in this game, I need to be able to built stuff without looking at the calendar.
What's going on?
