The Orion Nebula

Hello all. I'm new here and just got the patch a week or two ago. But I've noticed that the Meklar build times are often messed up on my game. Or at least, they appear to be. I don't remember this ever happening before the patch, though I haven't played the game in a long time. Just thought I'd ask or at least report it.

The actual build time will often be lower than the turns remaining. For instance, I have a colony ship on the way which reads as follows: Build time 39, Turns Left 58.

Is this a bug, or some behavior I"m unfamiliar with?

Thanks for your time.

Meklars are cybernetic, so they consume part of pp. That's the reason.

Yeah one of the calculations doesn't take into account how much Production your people are eating.

I always wondered why it didn't just say: Build time 58, Turns Left 58; because, for them, it was never the 39 turns.
It is a racial characteristic that leaves them with less production for ship building.
