Each Campaign turn has a construction phase. The number of habitable systems controlled by a race determines the build limit for that Race.

EDF Standard Fleet Build Order

Each turn a Race expends it's economic points to build space ships. Using the Standard Fleet Build Chart a race can build a set number of ships. Please note; the numbers listed are the maximum build rate for that race and if the economic points are not available to build all the available types listed in the Standard Fleet Build Chart then those units are lost and may not be carried over to the next turn.

Special Overbuild: Each race has the option of building more ships then listed in the Standard Fleet Build Chart. Any Units built over this limit cost twice the amount of Economics points. Example. The EDF player wants to build two SBB in one turn when his Build Chart only lets him build one. The 1st SBB costs the Standard value (5.3) the additional SBB costs 10.6 points. Only empires with a very rich economy should consider overbuilding units.

Defense Satellites will be explained under the system rules. We use the Basic EDF Battle Sat. As a generic unit for all races.

EDF Standard Fleet Build Order

The numbers such as 1/2 indicate that the build rate alternates one ship of this class one turn then 2 ships the next turn, then one ship again.

Borodino SBB- The "standard" built for the EDF. Can be substituted for the following.

Andromida 1 - Only one can be built at a time. An additional Andromida I can be built for every 10 Standard EDF battleships/Battlecarriers in the fleet.

In an early Game Turn the Comet Empire carries over 15 Econ points from a Previous turn. During the Economics phase the Comet player receives 33 points for his habitable systems. At the start of the Ship construction phase he has a total of 48 points. The comet Player controls 3 habitable systems. Looking at the Comet Empire Fleet construction Chart the Comet player finds his current build allowance.

Note: the Battleship build allowance is 1/2. Last turn the C.E. player only produced one Battleship so this turn his allowance is two. The Comet Player has 48 points and 3 Antimatter points. He purchases the following.

1 SCG(AM) Cost. 8 + 3 antimatter

1 SBB Victory Cost. 6

6 SDD Cost. 9

1 EII Sqd. Cost. 1 Defense Fighters for a Conquered system

2 SF Sqd. Cost. 2 Defense Fighters for a Conquered system

2 ACACBI Cost. 1 Assigning one to the SBB and the other to the SCG(AM)

Total. 30 Econ. Points

Remaining points. 18. Note: The Comet player could, if he wishes, carry over these points to the next turn. However for our example we will assume that the comet Player desperately needs more ships this turn. Using the Special Overbuild rules the Comet player could spend his remaining points to purchase ships above the limits set in his Fleet Construction Chart. For his Overbuild the Comet Player builds the following.

1 Hailstorm HSSCV Cost 9 (Overbuild) normal cost is 4.5 however this ship is being Overbuilt and cost double or 9 points.

2 Storm SDD Cost. 6 (Overbuild) normal cost per SDD is 1.5. Overbuilding costs double or ( 3 points per SDD)

This leaves the Comet player with 3 points to carry over to the next turn.
