Hey all... been away for awhile... but what are industrial complexes? What do they do? So many changes to the tech tree right after I left... so sad...

currently? nothing. Though the level 1 tech is required for recycling facilities and TC's now.

Maybe if we're lucky, we'll get heavier factories, it might even allow us to actually produce mechs for cheaper... and allow us to take the market somewhat from NASI.

Not really, if they simply built stuff faster, as to you know, needing 68 people to build a MACHINE GUN!! Hell, it's not much more complex then an assault rifle.

Maybe.
But chances are they are going to be exactly like TCs and will have a tooling cost.
And once the admins implement the zone based workforce, larger items will have to be built uisng industrial complexs.

Heh. That's an option I didn't think about. parts, ammo, weapons only in factories. IC1 for up to medium vees, IC2 up to all vees, IC3 'mechs too. Or exclusive. Would be logical, but a bit too speciallised IMO.
And a mg (+personal armour) taking 68 mandays to build is not that much of a stretching, it includes assembly and parts manufacture (!). Assemby can be done in a day (or less), but every individual handcrafted part? If you use any good material, it'll take time to make so it doesn't fuse to the machinery for instance.
See it as an infantryman in the field, how many support personel are required? Logistics is the name of the game... (And luckily not directly represented in nev. whee I got a vanguard lance! + a cooking vee + fuel truck + 4 trucks for supplies (You don't wanna know how fast those tracks wear and tear) + medical post + tractor in case someone redlines the rpm till it blows + ....).

The building to fighting ratio will increase in the wrong direction.
