Are manufacturing times correct in universe?

This might not be the right subsection to post this but oh well

Ok all of the in-universe events and timeline seem to be done in real time, e.g. 1 year in real life results in 1 year in game.

Now does this apply to research and manufacturing times? So in-universe it only takes 5 hours to build a battleship? or is this just abstraction for the sake of the game?

I am under the assumption that we are hiring a team of thousands to carry out the construction here (which is why the science skills have names like "Research Project Management").

I see no reason that, with advanced futuristic technology, a team of 5000 could not build a battleship before lunch.

extract from wikipedia: "Despite estimates that Yorktown would require several months of repairs at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, her elevators were intact, and her flight deck largely so.[33] The Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard worked around the clock, and in 72 hours she was restored to a battle-ready state,[34] judged good enough for two or three weeks of operations, as Nimitz required"


In EVE, we are not just using 20th century tools, equipment, and manufacturing methods. We have advanced metallurgy, fabrication, and micro-machine factories to aid us. Even without thousands of people working round the clock, these technologies should make it very possible to produce a battleship in less than 6 hours.

For a little more evidence, Airbus produce more than one A320 aircraft per day today. Each individual aircraft takes longer than a day because they are working on more than one at once, but most of the time bottleneck relates to having technical experts review the impact of legislation in the country the aircraft is to enter service in. (As an example, they'd look at things like "This aircraft is for use in Australia - does the emergency oxygen on board meet the requirements of CASA, the Australian regulatory body?")

EVE is a much more dystopian world than ours and so it's likely that the legal safety standards we demand here would not be adding to build times in New Eden the way they do here. Take this sort of customization out of the equation and Airbus probably could assemble an aircraft start-to-finish in not much more than a day. And the A320 is big enough to seat 187 including crew.

When in doubt, "nanites."

I've been told that is DEV approved response.

thanks its just that I remember thinking that a lot of the who can beat who threads on here and other forums almost always forget logistics in their conflicts, yet if these figures are accurate (and by logic capsuler only access a small part of it) New Eden's economy is capable of producing vast amounts of ships very fast, even from a minor system.

Who will care if your ships are crap if you can field thousands and replace thousands in a single day.
