The only thing you can do to build multiple buildings at once is have multiple colonies each building at the same time. The other thing you can do to speed things up is build up your robotics factories and Nanite factories. They will help significantly at first, but even with a level 9 robotics factory, one of my buildings will take over a day to build.
As for the profitable raiding, that is why you should send cargo ships with you to bring home the booty! |

| The thing with robot factories is that their help declines over time. Basically, once you hit level 5 robot factory, any reduction in building times is essentially worthless. Thus, once you hit level 10 robot factory (required for nanite factories), stop, and focus on nanite factories. They reduce building time ASTRONOMICALLY and reduce consistently over and over, instead of at a declining curve. |

| You still notice a difference with the higher level robot factories, but they pale in comparison with the nanite factories. Each nanite factory will cut in half the amount of time that it takes to build defense, ships or buildings... They have the cost to prove it too. |

Whoa....um...I’ve been accidentally raiding a CC member who’s been playing on his own. He just said he recognized me from CC, but he isn’t part of the CC alliance so I didn’t know.
He said he knows VeBu who plays on Universe 17 as well.
That was...interesting. Anyway, note to all, don’t plunder 1:138:8
M_H, he was the guy that blew up half my fleet. 
Oops. |

| Did you invite him to join? I’m sending some recyclers to pick up some of the resources you left behind. I’ll see what I can do about shipping them back to you. |

Yeah, I told him to join.
It was weird. Anyway, I’m about 20k resources away from a lvl 4 missile silo in both metal and crystal. W00T!
Meaning that if you can send me back my fleet (in pieces) that would basically give me my silo. w00t! |

| Have you looked at how expensive the IP missiles are? You have to get a huge amount of resources (or make it a lot easier for you to get to the planet) for them to be worth anything. I’m not going to do anything with them until much later in the game. |

But the benefits of obliterating 1:138:7 is AWESOME! He’s hoarding 1 million of each resource, and I think that 10 IPMs would bust his defenses wide open and I’d STILL make a huge profit. Not to mention that he has a level 1 missile silo and NO missiles (obviously). 
Run one espionage probe past his planet. Seriously. And once I get them, I can nuke anyone within 7 systems from me. 
BTW, this guy has an INSANELY high espionage level. Can someone get a reading on his defenses?
[1:485:6]
I’ve had 0% counter espionage on 10 probes, so I don’t think that there’s much there, but I want a better reading. Can someone please run a few probes past him? |

He currently has:
Metal: 139.053
Crystal: 111.425
Deuterium: 59.655
Not quite a million of each... let alone half a million combined. 
Oh, and 1:485:6 has no fleet or defenses.
