But just like the Robot Factory the Shipyards effect will dwindle dramatically the lower the time gets.

Well Ista said nanite 7+shipyard 15=11 seconds
I have nanite 6+shipyard 17=18 seconds
So, increasing the shipyard by 2 would quicken the build time for Istalris by 2 seconds. I believe that that would mean nanite 11 + shipyard 17 = instant build. Nanite 11 would cost 1,024,000,000 metal, 512,000,000 crystal, and 102,400,000 deuterium. That would be the equivilent of roughly 300,000 points- for just 1 building. This would be possible, but may take a skillful top 10 hit or 2.

Not to mention to resources needed for Nanites 10, 9 and 8.

Well, I got tired of fleeting (Takes too much time and my schedule is too erratic at the moment for fleeting) so I decided to go towards mining.

And no, there aren't very many priorities at the moment. I've got all my Research done (Except, of course, further increasing WSA and Engines, but those are plenty high enough) and all my buildings are set (Except for Mines, which isn't that expensive for where I'm getting them).

I might be ranked 180, but I've got my priority buildings/research out of the way Not to sound narcissistic, but I think I know more about what I'm doing than most of the ones around my rank, no offense to anyone, of course. I used to fleet a bit, but when summer rolled around, I no longer had the easy-to-manage schedule for school, lol. But when I fleeted, I had got most of my research out of the way early. I bough the Nanite partly for the small bragging rights, partly for the points, and partly because faster Build times=WIN.

who did you hit to get that resources?

The two players I've farmed for the past....3 months? Something like that. I don't venture very far o.O

I just saved up for 3 or 4 days.

You don't have any desire to grow? Don't you want to be one of those people posting hits in the union of honor? Making red DFs? Or did you think nanite 7 will really help more than 1280 battleships that you could've bought?

Uh...You DO know Nanites go toward your points...Right? Believe me, I know what I could have bought, I can do math o.O Just because I didn't throw it all into mines doesn't mean it was a useless purchase. You're thinking of now, I'm thinking of about...2 months in the future.

And you're also assuming I'm still fleeting. There are different ways to play the game

Different, less effective, ways.

Don't be so naive TGE, fleeting isn't the only way forward. Just imagine, Urweird puts his res into buildings and progresses while you go all fleet crazy. You get crashed and drop and he's still chilling up there giving you the "told you so" grin.
