I am running a terran mega station, currently with 6 microlattice factories, 4 carbide mills, and 2 substrate factories and an S/M ship fabrication bay.

I am continuously running out of metallic microlattice. So I raised ship prices to 150% to slow down consumption and build a surplus. The terrans and pioneers just kept buying.

So I must ask, what is the best factory ratio to avoid any resource bottlenecks on a shipyard in a high demand market?

Any ship queued for build won't build. Any ships I send for upgrade just sit in the wharf with a pending change equipment order.

I have all of the needed resources in large quantities, a 5-star manager, a ship seller, 50 repair drones, & 50 build drones and a large surplus station work force.

What am I missing?

In my previous post, I explain how I supplied two Odysseus Es to the Holy Order and they promtply conquered Second Contact with them.

I don't yet have the budget to diversify my wharf for Argon ship production. If I were to produce a bunch of well outfitted Terran fighters and sell them to Antigone and Argon, would they use them?

I took a job to deliver 2 Odysseus Es to the Holy Order. The reward was ship value +50%. So, I built them with Mk3 thrusters, a full array of L plasma & M Pulse turrets + main battaries, covered all of it with top tier shields in every slot, and even put full crews aboard.

They used them to invade Second Contact and now they own it.

How can I help the Argon and Antigone retake it without directly attacking the Holy Order?
