* Listed costs are associated with buying a building without any work effort invested (maximum cost). Cost savings from worker effort starts out very significant. The first few days of work reduce the cost more than 5 times the average cost per total days of effort to complete the build. This cost saving reduces exponentially and shallows out towards the end of the build to virtually nothing in the last few days.

** These values are in need of verification, these may be slightly less than maximum cost.

Purchasing Goods

Table in order of Goods Code and Max Quantity, so that you can make note of the goods that are useful to have stock of, and sell anything else. Max Quantity and Max Build Cost are the amount of goods and credits required for immediate purchase, however these will reduce if you wait for an extra day or more.

Ship Designs

Once you have a Star Base constructed, you may queue up any of the ship designs you have defined. Star Bases can only build ships upto 300 tons total mass. Battle Stations can build ships upto 1,000 tons, and Star Fortresses upto 10,000 tons

You may also build individual equipment items by specifying "no hull" for a ship design.

Initial purchase cost of a ship design seems to be about 5-6 times the market value.
