And exactly that is the problem with it. In an extreme case, you will be attacked by 50 mantis, and you have 25 mantis in production and 25 to defend yourself. He will kill your 25 mantis and afterwards his remaining mantis will surpress your factories so you are done tongue.gif
Of course that is theory.
And btw, in your example we must as well include the mass you have wasted for 50 more factories tongue.gif

No I won't post-13661-1143531603.gif

I'm building twice the mantis at half the speed. Provided we are looking at periods of time >> 10 seconds we will have the same amount of mantis at any time.

The *only* time a mass deficit is bad is if you need one particular thing quickly. Even then you can just pause the unnecessary things.

Oh well, we just cant agree this time. Even if you are right (which i cant tell for sure because im lazy) you still are at an considerable disadvantage because of the mass your factories did cost tongue.gif
