Spaceports 35 Analysis

[KenJI]

Let`s see if and when SP35 is worth on all of your bases ( all calculation were made using the stats on my account)

- SP35 -

- cost / base = 12.39M
- cost / 24 bases = 297.11 M
- time of construction on top base = 15021 hours=625 days (838 construction on the base)
- 1 trade / base + 10 econ / base = 622 additional econ (made the calc for every trade on each base taking into consideration that each new trade will be unique)
- 622 econ/ hour = 5.44 M more each year ( i think that the real number will be at around 800 econ / hour, because AE seems to round up to the next natural value )

At first glance it`s not even worth considering doing that, but let`s take into consideration what is the cost of other structures.

- OS 16+OS17 -

- cost / base = 10.95M
- cost / 24 bases = 262.73 M
- time of construction / base = 5850 hours= 243 days

- AF 20 + AF 21 + AF 22

- cost / base = 10.52 M
- cost / 24 bases = 252.70 M
- time of construction / base = 12502 hours = 520 days

- ECON CENTERS up to 27

- cost / base = 12.43
- cost / 24 bases = 298 M
- aprox econ gain = 550

It`s worth building SP35 when :

- you have OS 17 and AF 22 on all bases and a decent network of JGs
- you have credits to sustain you fleet prod and research for 1 year
- your bases econ is smaller than the ones you trade with because in this case the gain / trade is higher
- you have base 25

In my view you don`t build econ structures with a ROI in mind. You build them for the short and mid term impact.
5.4M don`t seem that much but you could invest those credits in fleet and get ZF. What it does is to compensate for the difference between prod cap and econ, that difference you need to compensate through hits in order to have a full prod.

But the most important thing about the economic gain is how it stacks up compared to your enemies, but that will be the subject for another discussion.

Could you clarify a couple things?
The math on SP35 and EC 27. Is that strictly the last level cost accumulated?

for SP 35 is the sum of SP31 up to SP35
for EC 27 is sum of EC22 up to EC27.

Tbh this is only useful to very few accs, it was just a debate we had in my alpha guild.
I need about 3 more years to take care of AF22, OS17, EC 27,JGs and base 25 until i can consider SP35.
But there is one guy in alpha that has SP35

thanks for the info....i knew i would stop at level 30 for a considerable time....LOL

nice to see hard data on how long that time will be....

but.....youve got a 0 econ base on Alpha and about 1000 econ....

aint you thinking to far ahead?

or is that another kenji?

or is this just some kinda joke it looks like?

Each level increases base economy by 3. (Mod Edit: It showed 4. This is a copy/paste from the DEV srver, which depicted 4, and quite probably the poster wasn't aware of the discrepancy - RICHY)
