How is a nation with war orders able to expand their navy faster than one without? You can buy tens of thousands of pounds worth of ships in a single turn. The reason people don't is because it costs ten of thousands of pounds.

I think its been established previously that debt is pretty meaningless in this game. In my opinion debt should have a negative effect on income (ie interest repayments)

There's no net difference between one normal order for five ships + one war order for five ships vs. one normal order for ten ships.

Looking at previous updates there seems to be a certain build capacity that your shipyards are limited by. This could potentially be circumvented by multiple ship-building orders in one turn.
