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 don't recall ever reading this before.

The extension is that at tech 14 the queue will estimate 100x1=100 and it will really cost 146? IE I'll try to build 100 and only get 68? That doesn't sound right...

The way I understand it you will still make 100 ships but they will cost more than you expected. However, if you only had 100 resources left then I guess you would make fewer. It would need a test bed to confirm this.

My figures were based on 5% per tech level but as already pointed out it is 4%. The User Guide says it is 5% in the main text (Section 8-2) but in the secton on LRTs it says 4% is the default with a maximum saving of 75%. Bleeding edge gives 5% and 80% respectively.
