Note that the ship designer and production queue dialogs use different rounding than the actual game engine. Say you build 100 ships with a tech 13 QJ5 engine. The cost estimate in production queue is calculated as if the engines cost 100x2 = 200 resources, but the actual cost is 100x1.54 = 154. Cost for the hulls and other slots is added up the same way.

I always thought of myself as fairly observant, but I never noticed this. Fascinating! I suppose it doesn't come into play much until you're building a lot of cheap ships like this, but this is good to know. Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,
Void
