Quick asteroid mining question: multiple mining modules on a ship = faster building/upgrades?

Very good question. Some modules (colony) stack, but others (constructor) don't. You could try testing via a branch save of your game.

Well, you won't be able to test because the game won't let you add multiple functionality modules on a hull. So the answer must be no.

  Your minning ship should be set up be as of the following: 4 Stellar Fold engines for balanced speed (33 speed), 5 Ultra Life Support to go any where on the map (10.3 Parsecs from a Base or Planet Cap), 6 Sensor Arrays for keeping an eye out for other ships while mining (15 range Cap), 1 Mining Mod. That is for Cargo Ship (129 size).

Man, am I imagining things, or is that a fix compared to how the early DL Ship Designer worked? I could swear I once learned the hard way that one constructor module was all a hull could use even if I could add 2 or 3.

Actually I've tested that yesterday in TA ASAP. One mine module and all other modules will disappear. In DA/DL don't know. If yes, this could probably open an exploit.

Wow GmOOnii, others would kill to get such ships as warcrafts.

I tested today, which is how I finally noticed what seemed like a dramatic change compared to my sketchy memory of when I 'learned the hard way' not to stack constructor modules in a design. The current TA UI is good--it doesn't let you make a useless design choice.

Re GmOOnii and speed 33 miners, are you doing that in a post-speed-'nerf' version of the game? Long ago, I built late-game combat ships with speeds in the 30s. But the devs came down on that pretty hard somewhere along the update/expansion path, so now anything with a speed over 10 seems amazing to me. Are you rush-building incredibly expensive hulls to get that speed in current TA or are you patient enough to let a starport work that long on one ship?

@ GW I am not sure what you mean?

What do you mean late in the game. By the second or third year I have talk everybody out (trade) of there techs and there is (almost) no more techs to be researched. This last game which I did some different things, I had most of the Techs before the planet rush was over. Once my style is down to an art, my scores will reflect. I am aiming at 500k to 800k every 2 to 3 weeks.  My Home is pq 24 everygame now. I have posted a pic in my empire thread

My survery ships have speed of 60.  8 Stellar Folders, 1 survery mod, cargo size 129.

I have planet bonuses from a few buildings that add to that speed.

Sorry in advance if I now misunderstood something, but does the above quote mean that you're actually playing MV + starting out with a PQ24?

btw.... your 800k games will turn out to become Million pointers with the right alignment.... 

    Yes, I play MV and no, I do not have that PQ 24 at the start but that is what it looks like when I am done creating it. I will post one of my PQ 44 I have for a Money Maker Planet and it might cap out at 22.00b with a 60 to 80 morale when it is up and making money. I guess should post a list of planet PQ in my Empire later on, maybe tonight. I have alot of PQ 20's and few 30's PQ, two 40's PQ, nice purple sun.

And now you have a picture

How are you getting a +11 on top of the 48 from those engines? Are there that many speed-boosting tradeable techs?

Mind you, I'm not a maximizer and after the Great Speed Nerf broke my addiction, I've often not even bothered with anything afer HyperWarp, and that just for the all-ships speed boost. I do sorta remember a couple of games where I tech traded my way up to a base speed of 7 on a hull with no engines, but nothing close to 12 with no engines.

@ GW

Yes, there are a few speed-boosting tradeable techs and some projects buildings for the planet too.  

 This spy as has been caught and dealt with. These are Empire Secrets so move along.     These are not the droids you are looking for.
