For me it used to take 1+ hours in real time (1x speed) until the WD is repaired... so I dare to say it is couple 10 years.

(im not sitting in front of the game, but if I recall well it also depends on the technology of your constructor - some techs increase the speed of construction so I think it will affect the repair speed of derelicts as well. )

But anyway, it will take looooong time till u get your WD. Dont wait for it, just play and once upon a time you will get it. Just keep an eye on it, guard your constructor with a minor fleet just in case.

Having just invaded them, I agree with this sentiment. That was a pita... it took me ~150 capital ships to deal with their fleets and clear off their homeworld enough to invade.

In my latest game, using a start with old empires setting, by the time I defeated the Shakturi and gained the ancient guardian homeworld my world destroyer was finishing. That suggests in a normal start game the destroyer should be ready well before you are in a position to deal with the shakturi/guardians. The guardian homeworld space port had 30000+ firepower!

Status: offline 		Well... I cant really agree, I really miss the possibility to assign more than 1 constructor for building projects. Or the possibility to build advanced constructors to be able to build faster.

IRL this would mean you can't hire more constructon workers when u build your house. Its just simply stupid and too artificial limiter in the game.

Status: offline 		Has anybody found out the optimal number of Construction yards to put on a Constructor/Base?? And how this relates to how many Plants you need of each Weapons, Engery, HIghtech plants?? none of this seems to be explained anywhere.. like how much - I currently have in a base E: 150k W: 150k H: 150k

Lets say I bump that up to 450k each.. does that really do anything?? and having 450k each with 2 construction yards compared to 10 construction yards with 450k each (E W H)

thanks.
