Just because you have to wait for the mid-late game doesn't make it less of an exploit... I mean, who builds a late-game death-fleet without a SY and a gajillion repair ability??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

The SY ship needs the component too, which means you can support a maximum of four other ships per space yard ship. Not exactly a potent force, and I challenge you to find -anyone- who deploys main combat fleets that are 20% SYS.

Then you need more space yard ships. Which means you need at least BCs, because a Cruiser isn't going to have enough space for the shipyard, engine, and pod.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes, but repair bays can still repair them. You just have to have the presence of a SY in the sector...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I was under the impression you only needed a single SY component in the sector to repair as many Emergency Propulsion comps as you have repair capacity for (including repair ships). Am I wrong about that? So if you have like 50 ships, one space-yard ship, and a couple repair ships, you'd be fine.

edit: like Fyron just said http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
