Spaceyard bases?

[brainsucker1]

In Se5 what do I need to research to be able to build spaceyard bases?

[Thy_Reaper]

Spaceyards - level 10 and higher

This gives you the spaceyard component that you can put on ships and bases.

[Slick]

Minimum: Bases to level 1 and Spaceyards to level 10.

Thanks. I have to rethink things then -- I used to build a SY base per homeworld in the first 5 turns of the game in Se4 (modded). What is a "normal" start for # of planets & tech research points? Maybe I am starting too low at 1 planet & 100k.

The balanced mod allows you to build Base SY on turn 1.
So you could give this a try.

The AI is better too.
