Given we're facing more than 5,000 ships, new ones would be handy. Each (Pysite class) Martyr can generally take out about 1,000 ships if used carefully.

We only have five Martyrs on the defensive, including the one we're about to spend. Speaking of Martyrs, our stocks are getting really quite low. I think it's worth sending in one our of defensive Martyrs to help with that situation. However Ifice has now come under attack from about 1,400 ships. Sother is just about to go down, about 2,500 enemy ships there. Spirecraft jumpship on the scene to pick up a couple of remains rebuilders and keep them safe for later. I can probably take another 2-300 ships before the command station dies. Sother held out fairly well for about a minute, but the 700 ship carrier which has just arrived pretty much spells the end. Still, we're churning out probably 12-15 fleetships per second, which isn't bad. I'll also keep the spire refugee outpost running as the spire frigates are relatively powerful but slow to build, meaning they have a low per-second metal impact.Ī couple of seconds after disabling these constructors we can see that the net impact of rebuilding our fleet is still -10,000 metal/s. I think we'll keep the teleport raider fab running, as they are fairly cheap and very useful as a fast response force. I'm leaving the starship constructor building riot control starships alone though, as they are very handy for handling, well, a riot. Other things to put on hold include the Mk V missile frigate fabricator and 4/5 of the starship constructors, as at this point I'd rather have swarms of quick to build inexpensive ships than a few high-power vessels. The screenshot above shows all the constructors I have before sticking stuff into low power mode. Especially as they take almost an hour and a half to build without engineer boosts. I love leeches, but I can't justify that kind of cost when trying to scrape together a new defensive fleet. The advanced starship constructor here also has some extremely expensive manufacturing going on, with each Mk IV leech starship costing 590,000 metal. Pausing those will save us 1 million in metal cost right off the bat. A spire tractor platform costs 127,000 metal for a ship that takes up only 2,000 energy. Right, let's shut down the most metal intensive manufacturing first. At least it'll take care of some of the threat for us before its inevitable destruction. Only about 400 ships for the moment, but I imagine that will increase as the threat becomes more common. The rest of my fleet, which comprises the regen golem, artillery golem, champion and about 2,000 reclaimed fleet ships, is going to be placed on Oorto as a fast response force. The botnet golem is on his way there now. And all that threat just ain't going to wait that long.Ī 2,000 bomber wave is going to hit Miknei in roughly two minutes.

But any way you cut it, it's going to be at least half an hour before we're back up to full fighting force. a flagship, bomber or a leech), 1,300 starships at a cost of 13 million metal. In terms of a fairly standard Mk I starship (e.g. Using the more metal-intensive bombers as our point of comparison instead, that would be 13,000 bombers at a metal cost of 20.8 million metal, i.e. So our current economy (less salvage) would take roughly 1,300 seconds to rebuild the ships we lost.

If we were to put it in fighters terms, 1.3 million energy would be 26,000 fighters at a cost of 10.4 million metal. We can see from the image above that the vast majority of my income is coming from the Mk III metal harvesters I unlocked earlier, although we're also getting a significant chunk from our home and military III command stations. Destroying 2/3rds of those takes me down to 860,000 spare energy and boosts my economy back to ~8,000 metal/s (8,793 if we include current salvage figures).

1.5 million of that is coming from 30 matter converters, which are costing me 6000 m/s to run. Looks like it's time to find out!įirst up, we have 1.8 million energy going spare. Someone was asking me about how I prioritise rebuilding a fleet earlier on.
