Something needs to be done about the length of time it takes to build the advanced versions of the standard planetary improvements. If I colonize a planet, or even take an underdeveloped planet late in the game it takes rediculously long amounts of time to build the improvements. By standard improvements, I mean things like facories, farms, resarch centers, etc. etc. etc. First off, I don't understand why it takes so long to build the high level versions. There is no need for a factory to take 400 weeks to build. That's nearly 8 years. I know it's a realistic timeframe to build something like that, but it's impractical in a game. Not only that, but if it was made that long to be realistic, consider that if people are traveling all over the galaxy, they have likely improved the speed at which they construct new buildings. It's not as if you could go around buying all the improvements either. A few maybe, but to buy enough of the advanced improvements to make a functioning planet would be extremely cost prohibative.
