hehe.. Islander. This is a terrible event for TB because your big fleet was shot down there, but at RT it doesn`t matter at all because you got to build a big fleet :P
And to those who aren`t aware that building up high is way cheaper with 4x buildrate.
2*upkeep*(turn/4)^2 / (0.5*upkeep*turn^2) = 0.25
As above calc shows the integrated upkeep is only 25% of the upkeep you need to pay, if you build with normal buildrate. Upkeep is the way most important expense when building a fleet. To use islander at RT as an example, now that i started commenting on his comment. Taking down thos 800 mil PR you build now will be way more expensive and time consuming than what it costed you to build it. So I don`t see why this has no influence at all, even at RT.
