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?There's a new sheriff in town.

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.Nans are happy people. They fly around, give out repairs, and overall have a lot of fun. Why are we killing them when we can learn from their example?
On second thought, I loathe my old banner. I want a good one, does that mean I have to work for myself?
