Year 13 Day 131 15:27	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Raak Narro	hey there, I just started production of a y-wing squad ( 12 y-wings ) in my shipyard 1 using 15 workers. but, it just seems impossible, the ETA is 3Y 196D 7H... 3 ******* years !!! how can it be possible just to build a squad of y-wing... is it possible thats it a bug or a issue in the calculation ? thanks for help.

Year 13 Day 131 15:31	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Raak Narro	I've just aborted the production and now I think it's showing the right ETA... problem is that I can't restart production. humm... any tip what can i do now ? I misleadingly abort the production 'cause the ETA was wrong and then I wanna restart the production but I can't - I need to abort first but if I abort I,ll lose some mats.... what a shame.. :( Edited By: Raak Narro on Year 13 Day 131 15:41

Mephiston Leonatos	The ETA is more than likely right, the problem is the number of npcs you used. Ask around and find people who are experienced with production if they'll clue you in on the correct amount. I had a number I always used but it's been about 2 years since I was a producer so not sure if things have changed. Also, I don't think there is anything you can do about the abort, pretty sure you can't cancel it. You'll just have to take the hit in RMs and time and try again. ____________

Ellias Aubec	As Meph said, your number of NPCs is way off, which gives the huge construction time. As for aborting, nothing you can do about it, you'll just have to wait, get the extra mats for those that are missing, and restart with the correct number of NPCs. ____________

Raak Narro	k then... :-( sad though I didnt thought there is a number limit for workers. thanks Edited By: Raak Narro on Year 13 Day 131 18:42

Year 13 Day 132 1:45	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Ellias Aubec	There is an optimum number of workers. Having less or more than that will increase the time needed. EIther there aren't enough people to do the work, or they are all getting in each others ways. ____________

Tiali Bixa-Loca	Is there a list showing the optimal numbers? Or is it just trial and error?

Year 13 Day 132 3:05	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Teyacapan Quetzalxochitl	There are guidelines on the rules page, but the exact number is trial and error. (or asking people that have already trialed and errored..)

Tiali Bixa-Loca	Yeah, ah love that about this game

Year 13 Day 132 6:06	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Vip Fortuna	Search function works wonder: “ Year 10 Day 91 22:19 Gideon Stargazer (length of ship in meters/5 = number of workers) is the formula I was given by a very longtime ship producer and it has worked well so far. ” ____________

Year 13 Day 132 6:14	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Tiali Bixa-Loca	So in this case, Raak would need 48 workers? Guessing the number is rounded up? Search Functions are great, if you know what you are looking for and how to word it so you don't get 20 pages of unrelated porn Speaking of the Y-Wings, really liking the copckpit Edited By: Tiali Bixa-Loca on Year 13 Day 132 6:16

Year 13 Day 132 6:23	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Teyacapan Quetzalxochitl	That's not actually a hard formula, and an y-wing isn't 240 meters in length..

Year 13 Day 132 6:29	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Tabty Haasza	And that formula works great for big ships that you build in a shipyard. Fighters and small freighters that can be built in a factory are a different story. ____________ Tabty Haasza \|\| CEO / Owner \|\| Akheton Corporation

Year 13 Day 132 6:46	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Tiali Bixa-Loca	Yeah, but he wants to build 12 of them, and 15 didn't work (unless thats the case of 'too many chefs in the kitchen')

Year 13 Day 132 6:46	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Teyacapan Quetzalxochitl	The amount you build doesn't matter, they're constructed sequentially, not in parallel.

Year 13 Day 132 6:59	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Ellias Aubec	Whether you build one or 20 at a time, the optimum number is based on the length of one of those ships. Once you get down to fighters though, its roughly ends up as 5 or 6 workers. ____________

Alexander von Ismay	Ohai thur. So yu want build ze yWings doja? FactoryStatus Producing (12 Y-Wing BTL-S3s) Tooled To: Y-Wing BTL-S3 Workers 6 Working ETA should be 45-50 Days, depending on local stats, and your skills. Sadly, aborting lost you the datacards.... ____________

Year 13 Day 132 7:29	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Chancy Mandu	hmm so its only 6, that totally answer my question :) With regards the issue of too many workers added, would pausing, then firing 9 of those workers, and then restarting not help the 3 year issue? As in now there are only 6 working on it, so they the ETA would come down to the 40 days or so?

Year 13 Day 132 8:02	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Alexander von Ismay	It's possible. Never tried. ____________

Year 13 Day 132 13:19	y-wing production: how can it be possible...
Alexander von Ismay	I tested it over on Dev. While I didn't pause and fire, I only arrested [which caused to pause] the all over 6. Then started. I got the same result as I would with 6. Not sure how legal it is with the features as they are. I think worker manipulation should be allowed thou... ____________
