No fractional months, please. Turns are 1 month long

IC = industrial capacity.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

Going low might be a better idea, then we just need to equip things with flares to drown out our own signals.
Maybe make a few low-cost scouts to do just that?  Y'know, stealthy until it's time to scramble, which will give us time to set up our ships?
Something like that might allow us to basically ambush the enemy base.

IC= build time
+1 to the Oculus M1
+1 to VAT
Also, once we compete these, we will need some way to destroy these pirates. I suggest the hiram and

Lux Class Laser corvette
corvette class
Team:us, mark, anton
time:3 months
Volume: about 10m*10m*40m,
general description: Small and elongated, the Lux is basically a large laser, built with as few rare components as possible. The laser is powered by a large battery and several large ceramic capacitors, instead of a large, expensive reactor. The laser is controlled by a set of advanced targeting algorithms specialized in triangulating ships from long distances using large amounts of sensor data, making it compatible with sensor drones. The ship is also equipped with external drone racks, allowing it to launch a small number of drones such as the Oculus or hiram.

Priorities:
Laser focal range-2
targeting algorithms-2
cheap materials-1

IC = industrial capacity.
So...IC cost is how much of an industrial base you need to make the ship?

Not really. Shipyards create IC (ours creates one) for whatever they are producing, so a 3 IC ship would take 3 turns to build in haven,

Yah.  Basically, we have only so much space and power.  No matter how many resources we have, we will be restricted by our capacity.

Will drones be a package deal per IC? Cause spending an entire IC to make one drone makes absolutely no sense ...

We're not being paid to make them, only design them.
