Contrary to popular belief, not everyone goes exp all the time.

A bios basic con moves at 60 mps. A dreg basic con moves at 72 mps.

Provided both cons launch and then immediately head for a target sector and asteroid, say, 15 thousand meters away, here's what happens without calculating acceleration.

Bios con launches and departs after 60 seconds, at 60 meters per second. It reaches the target asteroid in approximately 250 seconds.

Dreg con launches and departs after 90 seconds, at 72 meters per second. It reaches the same asteroid, 15 thousand meters away, in 208.3 seconds. Adding the 30 second difference in launch time to the dreg con, it reaches the asteroid in 238.3 seconds, while the Bios constructor reaches it in 250 seconds. It's a 12 second difference in favor of the dreg con.

And on the dumbass money settings you all play on, you might as well Enh your dreg con, and then it does what..90mps?

I withdraw my pseudo objections to Bios 60 second cons. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

...and that's just a basic con. Now consider that Dreg can have enh cons for the first wave without great difficulty.

Yea, I was going through all the possibilities after I read that post. /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

Bios cons for 60 seconds is not scary, just takes some time to get over the 'sticker shock' factor. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

It can do 96, the base is 80 and the buff is 20%. If for some reason someone gets their filthy hands on adv cons, it goes up to 100 base 120 dreg. That, my friends, is a very fast con.

I assume acceleration will increase the time required to get anywhere, but not by a huge lot.

Reason why I always teach my student's to get enh conn with dreg. It's freaken cheese!

Q: That usually means partialling your ref, which might make you keep a leash on your miners better, unless you're on really high starting money setts, right?

Anyway, Lyko, what was the real good thing about the new BIOS? I couldn't decide from the above posts whether it was mass or something else.

Placing your ref a bit later in game is actualy helpfull, that way you don't axcedentaly place it next to the enemies opening op conn.
