Have total ship mass be the major factor in ship cost and construction
time.  
Ship point should be involved but of secondary importance.  A quick
formula to 
show the relationship could be:
Construction time = [(ship mass * 5) + points] / X
X is some number that results in balanced construction times.  

Construction cost could do something similar but have less of a bias on
mass and
more on points.
