If you were to require the full-rate BSY to have a whole lot of crew quarters, it would look better regarding its ability to build fully crewed ships

Too bad you can't make a component require crew quarters. That would have to be required by the base hull, which would make defense bases require tons of crew too.

And don't forget the fact that you could still quickly build a spaceyard that makes units and defenses as fast as normal.

That isn't the point. And it screws over Organic races, whos units tend to require lots of organics.

Fyron: You can still build a defense base quickly, you just can't build a base with a full-ability spaceyard.

You need BSYs there too, not just a few defense bases. And you and Geo are talking about 2 entirely separate systems, so arguements agaisnt one may not apply as well against the other.
