Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I would like to see the Manufacturing Slots increased in Small/Medium/Large Ship Assembly Arrays to something above 1.

Stats for Small Advanced Assembly Array
1 manufacturing slot
Base time multiplier: 0.75
Base material multiplier: 1.1

Stats for Small Assembly Array
10 manufacturing slots
Base time multiplier: 0.75
Base material multiplier: 1

At the current cost of this module it makes it hardly worthwhile to use to get ONLY ONE slot for T2 manufacturing. This isn't even taking into account it costs 10% extra to actually make the item itself!

I propose increasing the slots to 5 or 8 so it is less than the 'standard' version, decreasing the time multiplier to 0.85 and removing the 10% extra mineral cost.

With this change I believe these would be use vastly more often and bring it in line with other modules. The Rapid Equipment Assembly Array would then be the only one that was expressly designed to decrease build time at the expense of increase mineral usage (Base time multiplier: 0.65, Base material multiplier: 1.2)

I look forward to hearing other points of view on this topic.
