The idea i had - whereby when you hit the order ships button a snapshot of your factories/population is taken, which then results in a predicted time which then stays fixed for the whole order (eg, not making production dynamic once the button has been pushed) kinda falls apart, as Kal mentioned that you could just set population to full on ships, order (snapshot taken), then instantly switch it elsewhere for no loss.
Perhaps if it just took a snapshot of your current numbers of factories, and left population as an ongoing variable? That way, factory losses due to SKs (or covert ops, heh) and/or gains from new constructions finishing wouldnt alter the expected eta of your ships. However, altering your population settings would. As such, if you lost a whole bunch of factories, it wouldnt affect ongoing orders, only new orders - but changing your population settings would alter both.
How does that sound?
