Station item creation time.

[allen4916]

I am a casual player, (still) i stop playing after a while over and over due to the excessive amount of time it takes to create some things like the weapons in particular.
I was wondering of there are any mods/scripts out there that can reduce the timer for these items to be created away from the 20hr's, without suggesting parking somewhere and using the seta drive thingy, I really want to finish this game, but i also want satisfaction from the economy side too, and the time just kills me,

Thnx

i've not seen any scripts or mods that do that yet i found it easier to just buy weapons and invest in smaller stations that take less time to produce items but if you really want alot of weapons at once check if the weapon you want is in the equipment dock and buy ten small ts ships from the sector shipyard and equip them all with that weapon if there is only one there it will multiply into all ten ships neat trick if you have the money

It's much easier to do this... buy yourself and EQ dock that you like and place it in a sector that you want to use for yourself. Usually I take over sector bala gi's joy and place my eq dock there. Once the EQ dock is setup assign some TS ships to it and tell them to go out and buy each weapon or item that you want. Set the sector range to something like 9 or 10. Just make sure that you clear out all the nearby sectors in that range of pirate activity first so your TS ships can get through safely. Kepp tossing cash into that eq dock and it will be cheaper to buy the weapons that way than it is to make them. Plus they will show up sooner than making them, I've noticed that by default there is atleast one of something at every race eq dock the first time you go to the sector it's in so you should be able to get atleast one of something right away.

I sure beats flying around in that argon TS you get from elena visiting all the eq docks you can just to get stuff.

theres no way to directly alter the time it takes to produce things.
the production time is based on the cast of the goods.

so the only way would be to use a mod that reduces the price of weapons so they take less time to produce

Thanks for the answers guys

I didn't actually think about using TL/TS class chips to go hunting for them, so i think i'll use this one most definatly, I want to make the gameplay as fun as possible without 'cheating'

the thing is withh PPC forges take the gamma one for example 20 hours building time. well the ammout of resources required takes nearly that long to gather.

Which is exactly why I don't even bother with those kind of stations unless I've taken over the entire x universe already and need something to fight boredom with lol.
