Shipyards and Shipbuilding

[MasterTactician]

Can you build shipyards which visually show your ships under different stages of construction? And, how long does it take (in game time and real time) to build a Imperial-Class Star Destroyer for example?

[Popcorn2008]

We dont know much yet about the specifics of EaW, so no one can really answer this question.

[Ghostly_Substance]

Dont they just hyperspace into your sector when they're done? Was in Little.Bs and Junkers video they showed when they were at a game convention.

[Teradyn_pff]

I thought that was just the beginning of a skirmish battle in that video. I hope that is not how it happens.

[Little.B]

I don't think that this will be they way of the final game. It was just because of the games early stage of development. At least I hope so...

i believe you order them in the Galactic Map mode then when they are ready they notify you and you add them to your fleets. (this is from what ive seen from the G.A.M.E convention.)

I don't know about notifying in a message popping up because on the EAW video, I didn't see that. If there was, if you are the empire, wouldn't you get like 50 notices in a minute?

The Empire has alot of rescources(or so in the video, the person created like 20 ISDs in a few seconds and more popped up) Unless the demo was speeded up.(which I think it was)

 

I hope there are shipyards. I'm going to raid knut and destroy it so the empire can't make ISDS.

 

Then when the Empire is making the Star Destroyer, I'll take it over before they finish and use it against them.

But I don't think Star Destroyers are made in Shipyards.

The demo build time was sped up so they could show off everything they wanted to without wasting any time.

it's Kuat and its kind of cool that they speed it up and from the looks of the screenies and concept art it look as if there will be Shipyards in the game.
