SE4 Demo
Also, if you visit my homepage (such as it is) and scroll down to Feb '01 or so, you should find my "Demo Ablative Armor" mod which is one of the very few (possibly only) mods for the SE4 demo.

You mean you removed the one per planet limitation, or is there more to it?
Theres more to it, but mostly work for the user.
The user has to build a "SpaceYard Expansion Project", which turns into a second (or third or twenty-fifth) SpaceYard.
One quirk of the process is that it is way easier to build the Last spaceyard expansion than the first.
The first expansion takes about two years. The second takes 1 year. The third takes 7 turns. Fourth takes 5 turns. Fifth takes 4 turns. And so on. The twentieth to thirtieth (for those advanced storage technique races

) take one turn.
With 30 Spaceyard III's, you get 90,000 production.
Probably a little wasted on building ships (you could finish complete battlemoons in a turn or two). Building units would rock though. You might have to dump ten cargo starbases in orbit to hold all that excess.
