Multiple shipyards built simultaneously. I'm going to try building four simultaneously in my latest colony.
I didn't know that you could queue in factories, I always get a message saying "no available factories" or something similar. How do you do that?
Is there still no one who can explain what the warp speed figures actually mean in terms of "number/fraction of sectors per unit of time"?
You can't queue in the sense of ordering a yard to build different ships one after another. What you can do is say "Build x of y" and then one factory will build them in order. If you want to build say four cruisers in a rush, do not do a Build of 4 order, instead Build 1 ship and issue that order four times to assign 4 factories.Originally Posted by JonasB
The speed values given are the length of time a ship takes to move from one position to another. Speed/5 = seconds of transit time. Ships only move one sector per warp movement interval.

Nice feature with the numbered build orders, I had missed that!
OK, I see. So the speed refers to the time it takes to move one sector. Does this mean that diagonal movement takes as much time as horizontal and vertical movement? So that if I send a ship to go from 0,0 to 10,10, this will take exactly as long as moving from 0,0 to 0,10 instead of about 1,41 the time as it "should"?
If so, have you considered to use a hexagonal based tile system instead? As you probably know, it is more "realistic" in this aspect.
