75 seconds build time for Collossus. However with Chronoboost, 37.5 seconds against the 90 second build time of the Battlecruiser. The Collossi is also 100 minerals and 100 Gas cheaper then the BC.

Hmmmmm......

I think the key factor with BC's against Collossi is the Yamato upgrade (in which case will kill the Collossi at a MUCH faster rate then Vikings would), also not to mention how tanky they are. Also, thinking along the lines of repair as long as you can retain your BC's they would be much more cost effective.

EDIT: So it's probably more wiser to research Weapon Refit and Behemoth Reactor and finish them before you start producing them?

2nd EDIT: This would also force more stalkers which is not such a bad thing considering if the Protoss wishes to blink his stalkers under the BC, there is a chance he call wall his chargelots off from slashing into your bio....

Just wait until HotS where BCs get a speed boost on a cooldown.. shit get real then

50% faster, not 100% faster. 1.5 seconds complete in 1 second, and thus it takes 50 seconds total.

BCs take a lot longer to build, are far more expensive, require techlabs which conflicts with the things that make your medivacs, have less range, cut into your ground army more, need upgrades to do damage vs +3 armor, etc.
