Re: spaceyard ship
Actually, a good way to do this is to build a hull with only the basic components, then design another with more components upgrade to that, then more and upgrade and so on till you have the full design. Then get a couple of repair yards in there and you will have it done in no time.
You can upgrade to infinity within a turn, I do it all the time in pirates to quickly create baseships.

Re: spaceyard ship
Hmm, bummer.
If i would build such a basic yard and put a spaceyard on it, would it be able to repair/upgrade itself?

Re: spaceyard ship
As long as you don't try to upgrade the space yard. It will retrofit, but that breaks the component in the process- and the space yard is what repairs things.

Re: spaceyard ship
I think you forgot about Repair Bays. You need a SY to upgrade but a Repair Bay will repair also - in fact, level-for-level, it will repair faster. I always keep a few Repair Bays as well as SY's in my larger 'build sectors' for that reason.
As long as you have at least 1 RB or SY you'll keep repairing. Just move SY's and RB's up to the top of the repair priority lists for optimum useage.....

Re: spaceyard ship
You cannot upgrade from a design without a space yard to one with a spaceyard anymore. Apparently this was viewed as a cheat. Some people would build a bunch of bases with nothing but basic control components, then upgrade them to BSY and have lots of build capacity in a very short time.
