One question though, how do you guys feel about adding 3 more shipyards facilities to regular tech comparable to temporal shipyards?
Maybe... not really sure about that one. Whatever you do to regular yards, I think the temporal spaceyard definitely needs to remain superior in some way.

Maybe allow some super-high level spaceyards (normal *and* temporal), but the increases in research/ price give diminishing returns in build rates, so that you can spend a century researching and building a level XII yard but only get 6000 build rate out of it. In this case, temporal yards should be 2 or 3 levels ahead of normal ones in terms of price and research cost, or make them comparatively expensive/ innefficient for the lower levels but the better option as you start to get to the higher build rates.

What I would really like to see is greater use of the repair ability on facilities: Distribution centres could have a repair rate of 1, and maybe the space port + resupply combo facility too. Also, how about a range of "repair yard" facilities that can be built alongside/ instead of space yards to help get all those damaged fleets repaired? Sure, you might end up with a huge breathable repairing 60+ components per turn, but given the premium value of facility slots in Proportions I don't think this could be considered an abuse/ exploit, especially with the armour getting leakier and leakier in this mod
