The cost to build ships is currently incorrect. I do not
know what the program sets the build cost slightly lower
than what is listed as the 'buy' cost, but it does.
This 'buy' cost (as shown in the Ship Data module)
should be the build cost.
Currently the program sets the Build cost to 3/4 of the buy
cost. This is how one game online did ship building, and I
thought I read it in one of the rules books somewhere...
I'll move this to a feature request, there are two options,
either you increase the buy cost so the build cost is what
you want it to be, or we can add an option to switch between
the two...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
At the very least I would like the option to change it. The
book costs are for building ships (I have only seen the one
cost listed in the published material). If you purchase a ship,
the cost will depend on the situation and who you buy it from.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes what I recall reading was that build costs were fixed,
while buy had a random component.
But I've failed completely to find it, and Naval Rules
supplement just mentions build costs.
I haven't actually done anything useful like look at the
code to see what you need to implement your request, but
I'll let you know if I see the entry. It's buggin me now.

There is a reason for it. The books definitely have a lower
build cost for ships than buying -
the tradeoff is: you can buy a ship and get it immediately
or build it and save money.
