Assisting build power
Time is 700 build points divided by build power. Drain is mass and energy per second while it is building, so more build power finishes sooner and costs the same total, but pulls harder on the economy.

Worth knowingfrom blueprints
The only T2 land one-shot unit in the gameno faction fields an equivalent
One-way trip1 100 damage, delivered once, by dying. It carries no ordinary weapon, so it shows no DPS.
How it plays
1100 damage over a 6.5 radius, against a tactical missile’s 6000 over 2. It is the wrong tool for one tough target and the right one for a clump. Historically an ACU snipe; the practical modern use is a transport of beetles with a mobile stealth, dropped onto mexes or power, which reaches at T2 what otherwise needs a strategic bomber.
