You cannot dedicate separate assembly lines to assemble one unit. Its like trying to build a car in two separate lines. You can't cut the chassis in half, build on them and connect the two later. I see, so what you are saying is that if you ran all the production lines with equal space apart with components made in other Stations you will get closer to that 1 Dread an Hour Mark. But I would need a lot of POS's to pick up the slack. 1 Dread an Hour, Challenge Accepted. Can anyone lone me 300 Billion in Start Up Cost. Edit: this is getting boring, yes I looked up Dread Construction before my first post here it is. Alara IonStorm wrote: * Nano Tech and Assembly Lines can Pump out Dreadnoughts every hour. I gave no mention to individual build time. Just that they are produced on assembly lines on a massive scale.

It is impossible to get a Dread in less than 2 weeks. it takes longer than that to construct (after having all the parts and ore).

Verone Veto Corp 105	Posted - 2011.10.30 18:12:00 - [37] - Quote An old piece of PF roughly explained the value of ISK, if I can find it again I'll link it here when I do. Basically, the example was simple. When shuttles were pegged at 10k and produced by NPCs (to peg the price of Tritanuim and keep the economy stable) there was a piece of PF which stated that the value of a single shuttle, that we paid 10k for, is enough when converted to regular currency to allow a family to live in the lap of luxury for several generations. Basically the ISK (Interstellar Kredit) isn't really a normal currency as such. It's a trading currency, kind of an index to measure wealth on a vast scale, like we use gold or oil today to gauge a country's wealth. The ISK is basically monetised to allow huge corporations and insanely wealthy capsuleers to deal with smaller numbers when trading, to simplify transactions rather than having to deal in quintillions of units of planetside currencies. It really is pointless to compare a piece of military hardware today, such as a Submarine or a Battleship to the cost of a Dreadnought or Carrier in Eve. There aren't even fundamental similarities in the costs associated with construction and manning them. Hope this helps Verone CEO & Executor Veto Corp WWW.VETO-CORP.COM

Someone tried to say that since a US Sub cost a Bil and a Dread Cost a Bil you just have to Scale Up. Which is not true since Minerals and Construction are completely different between future Starship and Boat.

Assembly lines can only pump one dread every 7 days at max production efficiency like the poster on the 2nd page stated. A production line might be able to pump a dread every hour if you have enough assembly lines inside said production line to organize it, and if that is truly what you meant than yes, in that case you are correct. Assembly line != Production line. But like i said, that is just semantics.. Still, semantics or not, a covetor cannot mine enough ore to build a dread in one day not even with All Level V skills and all orca/rorqual bonuses. With one HULK, it took me over one week to mine enough ore for my first carrier. And a dread takes oh so much more ore than a carrier does.

Henry Haphorn Aliastra Gallente Federation 21	Posted - 2011.10.30 18:30:00 - [43] - Quote Alara IonStorm wrote: Henry Haphorn wrote: Note that SilentSkills said] that if you take into account size, technology, and weaponry, then this will mean that it will take several or more earth made submarines to be able to equal the cost of just a single Dreadnought should USD be converted to ISK. So, 1 ISK = a boatload of USD. And as I showed that could be completely mistaken and that Sub could be more expensive then the Dreadnaught. Henry Haphorn wrote: The same can be said for a Rifter in New Eden and a 747 Jumbo Jet here on Earth. They are both the same size and perhaps the same weight, but the level of technology between the two and weaponry will mean that it will cost several or more 747 Jumbo Jets to equal the production costs of just one Rifter (and this is comparing to a T1 frigate). Says who. Production on Earth does not have Nanobots that put ships together. Earth also can not Vacumm 8000m3 of Metal out of a Rock in 15min. A Rifter could cost 1/10th as much as a 747 to produce. Henry Haphorn wrote: Actually, we technically can. Think about it. I did, conclusion you can not. Nevermind (and I don't mean this as a sign of defeat)

But it would not take a week sucking Minerals 24 hours which plays to my original point that in the EVE Universe material is easier to get. Even if I did undershoot the original estimate.

Sigh...someone as profoundly stupid and willfully ignorant as you should be kept far, far away from keyboards. If this is a troll, I will bite. Let's assume for a moment that you can magically build a Dread in 7 days, or 168 hours. To do what you want then requires 168 fg slots going at one time, just for the ships. Let's further assume you have 3 chars/account, all with maxed industry skills. That is 33 mfg slots. You are into a 6th char, just to produce one Dread/hour. That of course is ignoring the 168 researched Dread BPO's (168 would cost about 250 BILLION from the NPC stores) or Dread BPC's that have to be created one/ hour (ever looked at the copy time on a Dread BPO?), plus the mining of 1 billion plus ISK of mins/ hour, plus the 1 billion ISK/hour in minerals that have to be moved, the manufacturing of the dread components, etc etc. I am sure a single person can do that....well, maybe not. Let's try it takes very well run , extremely well-funded corp to pump out 5 dreads/week.

You misunderstand that assembly lines(plural as in more then one) can pump out Dreads every hour. You keep putting strange limits on build time while I am talking about the universe as a whole. I also never said one. So it is not at all false. Your brain works in a strange way. Also it makes things up.

If someone is "imagining" stuff here its you. The dreadnought bluepring clearly states the manufacturing time, and you can't get faster than 7 days with it. Also, i think you might have meant that you can set up several assembly lines in such order that one dreadnought would be built every hour, but that example also applies for any assembly line, in science fiction or in the real world.
